Our kidneys are one of the most important organs of the body. Without them, our bodies cannot remove waste products. It also eliminates the acid produced by the body's cells and keeps a healthy balance of water, salt and minerals.
About 37 million Americans suffer from kidney problems. Surprisingly, 90% of them don't realize that they already have kidney issues. When the kidneys fail, it can lead to various health issues and more severe health problems. That said, it is vital that we know how our kidneys work, their role in our bodies, and how we can keep them healthy.
In this episode, Matt and Peter will tackle the different kidney diseases and what you can do to avoid them. Join us in another exciting episode by your favorite Cup of Nurses!
