Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease

Your kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining your overall kidney health and performing many important jobs. Some of the ways they help keep your whole body in balance include: removing natural waste products and extra water from your body, aiding in the production of red blood cells, balancing essential minerals, helping to maintain your blood pressure, and keeping your bones healthy. Understanding these functions is particularly important for those concerned about chronic kidney disease or considering a kidney transplant.
