Each day your kidneys process around 200 liters of blood. All of the blood must cycle through the kidneys.
the kidneys
Each day your kidneys process around 53 gallons of blood, with around a quarter to a half gallon of waste leaving the body as urine. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood.
Your kidneys remove water and salts from your bloodstream, and form urine.
The term 'urea' is actually the body's way of eliminating Ammonia wastes from cells metabolism. In the blood the urea is a waste product which is eventually excreted through the glomeruli in the kidneys and eventually leaves the body via urine. The process is called Glomerular Filtration. Also there is a lesser amount of urea excreted in sweat.

the kidneys control mainly the amount of urine that is freely passed into the bladder
Each day your kidneys process around 53 gallons of blood, with around a quarter to a half gallon of waste leaving the body as urine. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood.
Because you lose a significant amount of the water your kidneys would collect through your pores in the form of sweat.
The kidneys filter blood and control the level of salts.
Kidneys do not hold water. Your kidneys are designed to filter your blood and remove impurities. The resulting product of the filtering process is called urine. The urine is then sent to the bladder via the ureters where it is held until you get the urge to void (pee). The amount a bladder can hold varies depending on the person and the size of the bladder. Generally, no more than about 1000cc ( the amount of a 32oz big gulp). Holding your urine, whether on purpose or due to a medial condition beyond this amount is unhealthy, and can back up into the kidneys causing a medical condition called hydronephrosis and/or nephritis ( over-distention of the kidneys, kidney infection).
