If you have kidney disease or you\u2019re at risk for it, your doctor has probably recommended some lifestyle changes. But the reality is that everyone\u2014not just people with kidney disease\u2014should take steps to make sure their kidneys are functioning properly. After all, your kidneys are a big part of how waste and toxins are filtered out of your body. <\/p>\n<\/div>

The kidneys are fist-sized organs located at the base of the back of your rib cage. They filter waste products, excess water, and other impurities from the digestive system and create urine. They also secrete hormones that regulate blood pressure and red blood cell production and help keep your blood\u2019s mineral levels constant. <\/p>\n<\/div>
