Kidney Health

Meaning

Kidney health refers to the optimal structural and functional integrity of the renal system, ensuring its capacity to efficiently filter waste products from the blood, regulate electrolyte balance, and maintain fluid and acid-base homeostasis. Beyond these excretory roles, healthy kidneys are vital endocrine organs, producing hormones such as erythropoietin, renin, and the active form of Vitamin D (calcitriol). Preserving this function is paramount for systemic physiological balance.
