Interesting Fact: Kidney Failure

In my opinion, kidneys are one of the morst important organs in our bodies for countless reasons such as they aid in filtering out waste products from our blood, they create a hormone to help stimulate red blood cell production also, they make other hormones to aid in regulate blood pressure and more.  Therefore, it is not a good thing if kidney failure occurs in the body because there are only cons and zero pros that come along with kidney failure. Kidney failure will  occur if there is a build up of waste products in the body which does not seem horrible however, if potassium builds up in the bloodstream and without the aid of the kidneys to remove it then the result is abnormal heart rthyms as well as instant death.  There are many causes of kidney failure however, not all of them are treatable as a result the kidney will never return to normal although, some times kidney faillure is treatable.  Once Kidney failure reaches the point where it becomes mandatory for the person to get a trasnplant or dialysis and they refuse then they will die which could happen in days or weeks. It is good to get blood tests because they help measure creatine, BUN, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which help discover kidney failure in the body.  If the kidney completely fails then the only possible treatment is dialysis or transplant.  Dialysis is a procdeure that helps take the normal duties of the kidney for those people whose kidneys are not working properly as a result these people can live a normal life and do every single task even if there kidneys are not working.
