Kidney Health
The main function of healthy kidneys is to clean your blood by removing excess water (and salt) from the liquid you drink, and wastes from food. They're sophisticated reprocessing machines, acting as the body’s refuse removers. Healthy kidneys clean your blood and make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy.
The wastes and extra water that’s left becomes urine, which flows to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until releasing it during urination, and the cleansed blood returns to the heart and re-circulates through the body.
Unhealthy Kidneys
Kidney malfunction leads to the accumulation of numerous nitrogen-based waste products in the bloodstream, including urea, uric acid, creatinine and possibly several others. Any excess of these waste products in the bloodstream may also lead to kidney stones and kidney failure and/or other complications.
Most human nitrogen-based waste comes from amino acids, the building blocks of protein that are essential for human life. When these amino acids have completed their useful life cycle, they are broken down in the liver and produce ammonia.
How to determine if you have unhealthy kidneys?
Creatinine | Creatinine is a chemical waste molecule that is generated from muscle metabolism. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. If your kidneys are damaged and cannot work normally, the amount of creatinine in your urine goes down while its level in your blood goes up.
Blood-Urea-Nitrogen (BUN) | BUN is used to aid in determining kidney functioning and usually is compared or obtained along with blood Creatinine levels. If levels are high it is often an indication of impaired kidney functioning. A BUN-to-creatinine ratio can help your doctor check for problems, such as dehydration, that may cause abnormal BUN and creatinine levels.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) | Creatinine is used by doctors to calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the kidneys. This is important because as the blood creatinine rises, GFR falls and the kidneys' capacity to clear wastes from the body diminishes. A high GFR (greater than 90) and the absence of protein in the urine indicate normal kidney function.
