Kidneys are responsible for removing waste from the blood, balancing salt and minerals in the blood, and producing rennin, which helps manage blood pressure. Kidney damage can result in kidney disease, impairing and disrupting their duties. When damage gets severe, kidney disease can actually become fatal.

Additionally, poor kidney function was linked to stroke and dementia in participants with hypoperfusion – decreased blood flow to the brain.
