Abstract

The primary function of the kidneys is to excrete end products of metabolism, regulate electrolytes and mineral concentrations, and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance [1]. Other functions include urine production, dilution, and concentration; maintenance of blood pressure; concentration of extracellular and intracellular fluids; gluconeogenesis; maintenance of calcium phosphorus balance; and activation of vitamin and hormone synthesis [1].
