The kidneys of a lizard perform several essential functions, primarily focusing on waste excretion and osmoregulation. They filter blood to remove metabolic waste products, such as nitrogenous waste, while also conserving water, which is crucial for survival in arid environments. Additionally, lizard kidneys help regulate electrolyte balance and maintain overall fluid homeostasis. This efficient adaptation allows lizards to thrive in diverse habitats, particularly those with limited water availability.

These responses help regulate blood pressure and maintain overall body fluid balance.
