What is the function of a woman's kidneys?

Kidney function is a very important function of the human body. Problems with kidney function are not big or small. If it is a symptom, it will be very serious. The one that is most closely related to our daily life is kidney deficiency, which is also a kind of poor kidney function. Problems with kidney function need to be dealt with promptly and it is important to understand the symptoms of poor kidney function. So, what are the functions of women's kidneys?

The main functions of a woman's kidneys are to detoxify the body, drain water, promote hematopoiesis and adjust the balance of calcium and phosphorus. Part of the body's blood in the body's circulation will circulate to the kidneys, and after filtering through the kidneys, the kidneys are like a filtering device, which can filter the water in the body into urine and excrete it out of the body. The filtered toxins are also dissolved in the urine and excreted from the body along with the urine.

Only by excreting these endotoxins and unnecessary water out of the body can the extracellular fluid of the human body be kept stable, so that each internal organ can have a relatively stable working environment. In addition, the kidney also has some endocrine function. The kidney can produce hematopoietic hormone to regulate hematopoietic function. Therefore, patients with renal failure are prone to anemia. Another endocrine function of the kidneys is to adjust the balance of calcium and phosphorus. Renal failure causes low calcium and high phosphorus, the latter of which can cause skin itching and increased arteriosclerosis.
