Kidneys are one of the
crucial organs in our body that performs the
function of excretion. They are primarily responsible for
regulating various
functions, like maintaining
acid-base balance, leveling
electrolytesbalance,
and also regulating blood
pressure. Kidneys flush out waste products from
the body in the form
of feces and urine while straining and retaining useful
components inside the
body. Due to many reasons, like eating habits and
other body infections, the
functioning and efficiency of kidneys gets
hampered. Sometimes
malfunctioning may also results in terrible and
unbearable pain
in kidneys. In contrast to males, females are at more
risk to get prone to
the kidney infection. The pain is curable and can
be treated with
much efficiency at home itself.
