Urine is not blood, although some diseases might mean that you can see some blood in your urine. In this case you should contact your doctor or physician urgently to discover the cause.
Blood flows through a network of very fine blood vessels in your kidneys as part of its normal journey around your entire body.
The blood flows into the "body" of your kidney but it does not get into the "drainage system", which is where your urine forms.
The blood vessel walls in your kidneys act as very fine filters which allow excess water and other waste matter to travel across the blood vessel wall barrier and into your kidneys, where the waste collects as urine.
The water you drink becomes your blood by being absorbed through your stomach and intestines.
What else can I help you with?
Swelling of one or both kidneys due to an obstruction in the flow of urine?
This condition is known as hydronephrosis and can be caused by various factors such as kidney stones, tumors, or congenital abnormalities. It can lead to kidney damage and requires medical intervention to relieve the obstruction and prevent complications.
Why do I get sick of food so quickly?
Your taste buds can become desensitized to the same flavors if you eat them too often, causing you to get tired of the food quickly. This is known as flavor fatigue.
How fosils are made?
Fossils are formed when the remains of plants or animals are buried quickly by sediment and then preserved over time through a process called mineralization, where minerals replace the original organic material. Over thousands or millions of years, these preserved remains can become fossils through various processes like compression, impression, or petrification.
Why is kidney failer fatal?
Kidney failure is fatal because the kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood. When the kidneys fail, toxins can accumulate in the body leading to a range of complications such as electrolyte imbalances, fluid overload, and cardiovascular issues, ultimately resulting in organ failure and death if not treated promptly.
Is the water you drink the same water you urinate a short time later?
No the water you drink has to go through a multitude of body filters before it is eliminated from the body. The human body contains lots of water. When you drink water it gets added in to the water you already have. When the kidneys remove water from the blood, that water will include some water that you recently drank, but also some water that you drank at some earlier time. In addition, not all the water in the human body is obtained by drinking. The metabolic process by which energy is obtained from sugar (or nutrients which become sugar), also produces a certain amount of water as a by-product. And of course, many solid foods have water content as well. So water in the human body comes from various sources.
Does almost all of the fluid filtered through the kidneys become urine?
No - a lot of blood is filtered through the kidneys
How does a urinary tract infection influence urine pH?
It results in a high ph, become more basic
How does glomerulonephritis interfere with fluid and electrolyte balance?
In glomerulonephritis, the glomerulus in the nephrons of the kidneys become clogged and are unable to filter the plasma to turn it into urine. Your vessels become overloaded with fluid. This causes an increase in H20 because it is not being filtered out and a decrease in the concentration of Na+.
What happens to blood as it it travels through the kidneys?
It goes through the renal cortex in the body release loads of salt to chunk up in your waste
Why is it important that the kidneys return water to the blood?
Your body is primarily made up of water and without the return of it from your kidneys you would become dehydrated.
When kidneys excrete bicarb the pH will?
Your oh balance will become more base or lower
How do you become cold quickly?
Walk into a freezer!!
Why does one become thirsty after eating salty foods?
The body wants to excrete the excess salt. This can be done either through the sweat glands, or the kidneys (urine). Either way requires water to dissolve the salt.
Why can the kidneys be affected by prostate enlargement?
The urine that collects in the bladder can become infected and lead to stone formation. The kidneys themselves may be damaged by infection or by urine constantly "backing up."
What is a function of the mammalian kidney?
The same as ours. The kidney is an organ that takes in a large volume of blood each day (think many times your total blood volume), filters it, and then reabsorbs the vast majority of the water and solutes. This reabsorbed matter then goes right back into the bloodstream, while the little that remains is excreted as urine. So in short, a pig's kidneys filter its blood and regulate levels of water and solutes in the blood stream, creating urine out of what's left over.Pigs kidneys like all kidneys in animals & humans are filtering organs for excretion of waste such as salts,urea,waste cells,toxic material ,water etcIt is eaten as meat diet by some humans & carnivourous animals. pigs kidneys have high fat .to filter blood for waste.
What is the utility of 'convergence rate' in numerical computing?
The convergence rate is a measure of how quickly the calculations become close to the value being calculated. Alternatively, how quickly the error becomes smaller.The convergence rate is a measure of how quickly the calculations become close to the value being calculated.

Do kidneys slowly become larger with age?
No, kidneys do not generally become larger with age. In fact, kidneys may slightly decrease in size with age due to a loss of overall body mass. However, certain conditions like kidney disease or certain medications can cause kidney enlargement.
