Wendy Christien - Kidney Health

Loading player...
Our kidneys are located just below our rib cage on either side of our spine. The
function of the kidneys, which are bean-shaped and about the size of a fist, is
to filter blood and remove waste products and acid via our urine.
When the kidneys function well, about a cup of blood is filtered through them
every minute. In this process waste products and extra fluids are removed,
forming urine, which then flows via the ureters to the bladder to be stored and
excreted.
