The kidneys regulate electrolytes, Ph balance (acid base balance) and blood pressure. The kidneys also filter waste from blood which is excreted in urine. The kidney also produces hormones that aid in the absorption of calcium and production of red blood cells.
They help regulate blood pressure (I think)
it can help by increasing reabsorption of water by the kidney. With the reabsorption, blood plasma volume increases, thus raising blood pressure

Yes, excessive blood loss can significantly affect the kidneys. When blood loss occurs, it can lead to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the kidneys, resulting in acute kidney injury (AKI). This decrease in perfusion can impair the kidneys' ability to filter waste and regulate fluid balance, potentially causing further complications. Maintaining adequate blood volume and pressure is crucial for kidney health.
The kidneys are the organs that directly regulate the concentration of water in the blood by filtering excess water and solutes from the blood to form urine. They also help maintain proper balance of electrolytes in the body by reabsorbing or excreting them as needed.
Which of the following plasma proteins help regulate blood volume?
The kidneys help regulate blood pressure by controlling the amount of fluid in the body through filtration of blood and secretion of hormones like renin. Renin helps to regulate blood volume and blood pressure by activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. Additionally, the kidneys play a role in managing electrolyte levels, which can impact blood pressure regulation.
Renin: produced by the kidney to help regulate blood pressure by controlling the vascular tone and fluid balance. Erythropoietin: produced by the kidney to stimulate red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Calcitriol: the active form of vitamin D produced by the kidney, important for calcium absorption and bone health. Prostaglandins: locally produced in the kidney to regulate blood flow and filtration rate. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): released by the heart in response to high blood pressure, it acts on the kidneys to increase sodium excretion and decrease blood volume.
Kidneys mostly function to filter the blood of waste. This also allows the kidneys to filter electrolytes to regulate their levels.
eliminates waste from the bodyfunction of the kidney : The kidneys remove wastes and water from the blood to form urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters.the main function unit of the kidney is the nephron The kidneys regulate the body's fluid volume, mineral composition and acidity by excreting and reabsorbing water and inorganic electrolytes.
