Read on to learn more about the disease, risk factors, and early signs of kidney disease.
Diagnosis of kidney disease
The kidneys are two egg-shaped organs located under the back ribs. Responsible for filtering excess waste, water and other impurities from the blood into the urine.
Healthy kidneys filter about half a cup of blood per minute, but with kidney disease they lose their ability to do so. This causes hazardous waste and water to accumulate in the body.
