The kidneys perform several essential tasks, including filtering waste products and excess substances from the blood to form urine, regulating electrolyte balance and blood pressure, maintaining acid-base balance by controlling hydrogen and bicarbonate levels, producing hormones such as erythropoietin for red blood cell production, activating vitamin D for calcium absorption, and regulating fluid balance to maintain overall hydration in the body. These functions are crucial for homeostasis and overall health.
