The main job of your kidneys is to filters blood every 30 minutes and removes toxins and excess water. They also help to control your blood pressure, to produce red blood cells and to keep your bones healthy. They also control blood stream levels of many minerals and molecules including sodium and potassium, and help to control blood acidity. Every day your kidneys carefully control blood pressure, stimulate production of red blood cells and regulate blood chemical that are essential to life.
Kidney disease usually progresses silently, often destroying most of the kidney function before causing any symptoms. The early detection of failing kidney function is crucial because it allows suitable treatment before irreversible kidney damage or deterioration manifests itself through other complications.
Simple laboratory tests are done on small samples of blood (to measure creatinine content and estimate GFR) and on urine (to measure creatinine and albumin excretion).
