Explanation:
Overview of the kidneys' chores
draining the blood from metabolic waste – such as as uric acid, urea (nitrogen) and creatinine – and from toxins (for example medication) by making urine that is released via the urinary tract
controlling the body's fluid balance, thereby regulating blood pressure
controlling mineral and acid-base balance (by regulating the urine's composition)
secreting hormones, such as erythropoietin for stimulating the production of blood cells, and renin for regulating blood pressure
excretion of peptide hormones
