Kidney Diseases

The body's ability to continue its life in a healthy way depends on the protection and maintenance of the functions of certain organs to the maximum extent. In this sense, our kidneys have an important place among these organs that can be considered as vital. The kidneys play a very important role in the production of substances that contribute to the physiological functioning of the body, as the basic elements of the excretory system, in terms of blood circulation and mineral balance. In this respect, the diseases that affect the kidneys as well as their functions show diversity. As a result of kidney diseases, changes may occur in the morphological features of the kidneys such as size and shape, blood levels of harmful substances such as urea, which the kidney is responsible for removing from the body, may increase, protein leakage may be observed with the urine of blood proteins whose levels should be maintained in the blood, or a decrease in kidney-derived hormone levels may be experienced.
