Yes, the kidneys play a role in the body's immune response, although they are not the primary organs for fighting off foreign microbes. They help filter blood and remove waste products, and they also produce hormones and proteins that can influence immune function. Additionally, the kidneys can contribute to the production of certain immune cells and the regulation of inflammation. However, the primary defense against pathogens is carried out by other components of the immune system, such as white blood cells.
