The kidneys, the silently dedicated "model workers", play an important role in the body's metabolism and can be called the "filter" of the human body. It works tirelessly to filter out metabolites and potential carcinogens, transfer them from the bloodstream to the urine, and then excrete them from the body. The powerful function of the kidney is not limited to this, it is also the "commander" of maintaining a stable internal environment and regulating the balance of body fluids and electrolytes. When the body lacks a kidney, the reserve function will inevitably be affected, and the compensatory nature of the kidney will be enhanced accordingly.
In the human body, the normal ** has two kidneys, which are silently guarded like guards behind the sides of the waist. Once one kidney is lost, the remaining kidney needs to take on more work, sometimes even expanding its "territory" and enhancing its filtration function. Therefore, the lack of a kidney may have a certain impact on physical health.
In daily life, we should take good care of the remaining kidney to avoid overloading it for a long time. Regular physical examinations, staying away from tobacco and alcohol, and carefully choosing unknown health products and home remedies are all effective ways to care for the kidneys. For patients with high blood pressure, it is particularly important to control the condition and uric acid levels. Under the guidance of their doctors, they can use medications such as febuxostat tablets, benzbromarone tablets, etc., to control uric acid levels, so as to better protect kidney function.
