Overview
In India, 1.36 Lakhs adults die due to chronic kidney disease, which is more than AIDS.
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located at the bottom of the rib cage and are mainly responsible for:
- Filtering waste products, excess water, and other impurities out of the blood.
- Regulating pH, salt, and potassium levels in the body.
- Regulating blood pressure and the production of red blood cells.
- Activating a form of vitamin D that enhances calcium absorption.
