Amount of liters of blood that goes through kidneys for cleaning?
Each day your kidneys process around 200 liters of blood. All of the blood must cycle through the kidneys.
What structure regulates the amount of water in your blood?
the kidneys
How much water flows through your kidneys a day?
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.
Which process reduces the concentration of urea in the blood of humans?
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.

Because you lose a significant amount of the water your kidneys would collect through your pores in the form of sweat.
Which organ in your body filters your blood and controls the amount of salts in your blood?
The kidneys filter blood and control the level of salts.
Can a high protein diet cause protein to be excreted by the kidneys?
Yes. A high protein diet will put extra pressure on your kidneys, and you will actually have a negative nitrogen balance, because your kidneys will produce more urea from the large amino acid availability. You can check it the next time you urinate (standin up makes it is easier to see). If your urine is producing a large amount of foam (look in the toilet) then it might indicate that you are excreting a large amount of protein and that your nitrogen balance is negative.
How much water can a kidney hold?
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).
What food is bad for your kidneys?
tan excess amount of salt in your diet.
