Keep Your Kidneys Healthy

And know the warning signs of problems

Your kidneys, each about the size of your fist, filter toxins from your body, helping to keep you healthy.

Knowing the signs of kidney problems is important. They include burning during urination, frequent urination, swelling of hands and feet, blood in the urine, pain in the back or side below the ribs and high blood pressure. If you have any of these symptoms, consult your doctor.

Drugs can frequently control the two leading causes of kidney failure: diabetes and high blood pressure.
