How do your kidneys work? - Emma Bryce

Explore how kidneys operate, and how this organ helps filter waste and excess fluid from your blood.
--
After drinking a few glasses of water on a hot day, you might be struck with a sudden ... urge. Behind that feeling are two bean-shaped organs that work as fine-tuned internal sensors. Emma Bryce details how the incredible kidneys balance the amount of fluid in your body, detect waste in your blood, and know when to release the vitamins, minerals, and hormones you need to stay alive.

That's it... I'm done. Now that I know how hard my kidneys work i am going to try harder than ever to eat healthier.

I wish there were more videos like this one here, raising the awareness for Kidney Disease has never been so important. I have a channel only to talk about kidney disease and I still CANNOT BELIEVE how many people think their kidneys are just there to filter the blood. And most of all, nobody seems to care for the MILLIONS that each year DIE from kidney disease. So, thank you. #kidneyhealth #00kidney

Nice Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Trentvorty Perfection Kidney Theorem (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one off product for improving kidney function without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker at very last got cool results with it.

I had too much protein in my urine. I stopped taking NSAIDs and now 3 weeks later my protein level is normal in my urine! Excellent explanation of the kidneys the only problem is you give glory to luck (or should I say Lucifer) give glory to who Christ created all things or face the 2nd death only to be thrown into the eternal lake of fire forever for your sins!

Can we agree that these are Amazing organs? I think so.

The amount of blood in the body is directly proportional to the mass of the body containing it. The conversion formula may be found on google.
