Hi can anyone tell me how an human kidney work
Answers
Most people know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-absorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals.
The critical regulation of the body's salt, potassium and acid content is performed by the kidneys. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates red blood cell production. Other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.
The kidneys are powerful chemical factories that perform the following functions:
1. remove waste products from the body
2. remove drugs from the body
3. balance the body's fluids
4. release hormones that regulate blood pressure
5. produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones
6. control the production of red blood cells

Your kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. ... Every day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The waste and extra water become urine, which flows to your bladder through tubes called ureters
