Kidneys are not directly involved in digestion. However they help the digestive system by eliminating waste from the metabolism, thus helping the digestive system to work better.
The kidneys excrete a variety of waste products produced by metabolism. These include the nitrogenous wastes called "urea", from protein catabolism, as well as uric acid, from nucleic acidmetabolism. Formation of urine is also the function of the kidney. The concentration of nitrogenous wastes in the urine of mammals and some birds is dependent on an elaboratecountercurrent multiplication system. This requires several independent nephron characteristics to operate: a tight hair pin configuration of the tubules, water and ion permeability in the descending limb of the loop, water impermeability in the ascending loop and active ion transport out of most of the ascending loop. In addition, countercurrent exchangeby the vessels carrying the blood supply to the nephron is essential for enabling this function.
