Best Answer

Every human has a pair of bean shaped organs behind the abdominal cavity called the Kidneys. We would have two of them on either side of our abdominal cavity.

Kidneys are one of the most important organs in the human body, which is extremely essential for the proper functioning of the body.

The main purpose of the kidneys is to clean up our blood system. When blood reaches the kidneys, it filters our blood of all unwanted ingredients and releases pure/clean blood back into our system. As a result of this cleaning, the kidney releases urea or urine into our urinary bladder. Though, the kidneys are relatively very small when compared to a heart, it can receive and clean up nearly 20% of the blood that the heart pumps at any given time.

One kidney is more than sufficient for a human body to function in a healthy manner but still every human has a pair...

Some diseases associated with kidneys are:

* Kidney stones * Renal failure * Lupus Nephritis * Kidney tumors * Multicystic dysplastic kidney * Renal dysplasia

* etc...
