Organs that have important functions in our body also avoid the threat of various types of diseases, including kidneys. The kidneys have a vital role in the body, namely as a blood filter and remove residual substances metabolism in the form of urine. In the kidney there are 3 important role for the survival of filtration or filtration then the second reabsorption is the process of reabsorbing substances that are still beneficial to the body and produce secondary urine the last process is augmentation is the process of adding fluids to the secondary urine and urine will be accommodated in bladder to be excreted out the body.

Therefore, the kidneys become organs that are needed by our body. Without the kidneys then our bodies will experience a buildup of fluids, toxins and impurities. The kidneys will filter out all the fluid that enters the body then channeled into the bladder. The end result is urine that can help remove all toxins in your body. So when there are problems that cause kidney function to decrease or decrease the body will experience disturbance, at least your body will look weak. ^[1]
