00:00 Intro Story

01:20 Kidney Intro. Kidney is an important organ. Apart from filtering it does many other important jobs. One in seven people have kidney problems. But many don’t know about it. Because in early stages there are no symptoms.

02:23 Where is it?

Kidney is approximately your fist size organ. There are two kidneys. Just below the rib cage on either side.

02:37 Filtering
This is the first job of kidney. Blood enters kidneys through renal arteries. Then it goes into tiny filtering units called “nephrons”. There blood gets filtered, excess water and toxins are removed as urine. Then blood goes back to heart through renal veins.
There are one million nephrons in a single kidney. It filters 180 liters of blood every day. The whole blood volume is filtered 40 times in a day.

03:18 Vitamin D is activated in kidneys. It is important for calcium absorption. Calcium is important for bone health.

03:29 Erythropoietin hormone is secreted from kidneys . This is important for red blood cell production.

03:45 Another important hormone renin secreted from kidneys. This hormone is Important for Maintaining fluids And electrolytes to maintain Normal blood pressure.

03:56 Importance of Diagnosing Early

Chronic kidney disease is a chronic condition . It progresses slowlyOver many years. In earlier stages there are no symptoms. When it progresses to advanced stage only symptoms appear. In earlier stages we need to do blood tests to know the kidney function. When we do blood creatinine levels we can calculate glomerular filtration rate. GFR. Baaed on that we can come to know the percentage of kidney function.

05:24 Urine tests in kidney failure
