The kidneys perform a central balancing act in our health. They maintain the balance between fluid, salt, minerals, acids, etc. in our body and eliminate toxins.<\/p>\n

When the kidneys no longer function correctly it is not immediately noticeable, but it causes life-threatening damage, particularly to the heart and circulation.<\/p>\n

It is worth looking after our kidneys and getting our kidney function tested, for the sake of our health.<\/p>\n

Are your kidneys healthy?<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear children, dear parents, dear interested persons, the kidneys have virtually the same function in children as they do in adults.<\/p>\n

However, there are certain differences and specific aspects that the kidneys have to cope with in childhood. For instance, good kidney function is very important for the body to grow normally.<\/p>\n
