The kidney does a lot of functions in the human body. The kidney is normally two that's it comes in pairs but not everyone has a pair, some have just one.
The kidney removes wastes filtered out from our bodies.
You should learn not to keep your urine, when you feel pressed, go use the restroom.
The kidney does a lot of regulations like fluid and electrolytes.
There are two diseases of the kidney.
1. Acute kidney injury: This happens within days. It does happen suddenly. Women that go to untrained health practitioners to be delivered of their babies can suffer from this.
2. Chronic kidney disease: CKD is progressive. It's an irreversible progressive decline in kidney function. Diabetes mellitus and High Blood pressure are among the leading cause of CKD.
NB: DM isn't infectious rather it's hereditary.
Urinary tract infection, Excessive consumption of Vit C and bleaching cream can actually cause CKD.
A kidney is a very patient organ in the sense that up to 70% of it might be dead yet the person might still be moving freely.
NB: Carbonated beverages, concussions like Agbo roots, energy drinks, alcohol, constant opioids intake( OTC) ibuprofen etc are actually stressing your kidneys and aren't healthy for your kidney.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE AND CARE
1. When your urine is foamy(Excess prolonged fuming)
2. Uncontrolled or unsupervised Diabetes mellitus and HPB.
3. Pinkish, dark yellow colour of urine(constant).
