Anatomy of the Kidneys
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that keep the composition of the blood balanced, regulate the amount of fluid in the body, help to control blood pressure, and also produce hormones that are important for blood and bone formation. These organs are located on either side of the lower back just below the rib cage. Together with the bladder, two ureters, and the urethra, the kidneys make up the body's urinary system. Human beings, as well as members of all other vertebrate species, typically have two kidneys. Kidneys are dark red in color and in adult humans are about 10 to 12 cm long and about 5 to 7 cm wide.
Structure of the Kidneys
The outside layer of the kidney is called the cortex. Beneath the
cortex lies the medulla, containing pyramids, which are formed of
microscopic tubules. At the center of the kidney is a cavity called
the renal pelvis.
Urine Production
The production of urine is a complex process. It is far from being a simple removal of water from the body, rather it is a process of selective filtration that removes waste and potential toxins from the blood while retaining essential molecules. Blood enters the kidneys by the renal artery and is processed in tiny tubes called nephrons and returned to circulation through the renal veins. The substances that are filtered are turned into urine, composed of 95% water, 2.5% urea, 2.5% mixture of minerals, salt, hormones and enzymes. Urine is then collected in the central part of the kidney and passes through the ureters to the bladder. When the bladder is full of urine, it is emptied from the body through the urethra. Approximately 180 liters of blood moves through the two kidneys every day, about 1.5 liters of urine are produced.
Other Function of the Kidneys
In addition to cleaning the blood, the kidneys regulate the amount of water contained in the blood. ADH (Vasopressin) is an anti-diuretic hormone produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. When the amount of salt and other substances in the blood becomes too high, the pituitary glands release ADH into the bloodstream and to the kidneys. This increases the permeability of the walls of the renal tubules, helping to reabsorb more water into the blood stream. The kidneys also adjust the body's acid-base balance to prevent acidosis and alkalosis.
Another function of the kidneys is the processing of vitamin D. The kidneys convert this vitamin to an active form that stimulates bone development.
Kidney Diseases
Diseases of the kidney range from mild infection to life-threatening kidney failure. The most common form of kidney disease is an inflammation of the kidneys. Kidney stones are crystallized minerals that sometimes obstruct the flow of urine and damage the kidneys. Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder that affects the ability of the glomeruli (filtering units) to retain protein in the blood. Proteins are excreted through the urine, creating a protein deficiency that leads to fluid retention leading to swelling of different parts of the body, as well as weight gain from the excess fluid.
Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to keep the blood balanced. In acute kidney failure, symptoms include swelling, drowsiness, and irregular heartbeat. In chronic kidney failure, symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, cramps and thirst.
Urinary tract infections are health problems that are caused by kidney damage, various urinary infections, sexual contact and kidney stones.
