What does kidney and urinary health encompass?

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Kidneys are critical for a variety of functions. The kidneys are made up of nephrons, which filter out waste, toxins, and excess water from the blood and balance electrolyte levels. Waste is stored in the bladder and excreted as urine. The kidneys and urinary health category encompasses normal function of the nephrons and the urinary tract and prevention of acute and chronic kidney diseases.[1]
