Kidneys Urinary Tract
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They are located
near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every
day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The
waste and extra water become urine, which flows to your bladder through tubes called ureters. Most kidney diseases attack
the nephrons, causing them to lose their filtering capacity. Damage to the nephrons may happen quickly, often as the
result of injury or poisoning. Most kidney diseases destroy the nephrons slowly and silently. Only after years
or even decades will the damage become apparent. Most kidney diseases attack both kidneys simultaneously. The
two most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. Kidney disease supplements, information
