Healthy kidneys are essential—not just for the urinary system but for the entire body. They remove waste and help maintain the body’s internal environment (also known as homeostasis).
Unfortunately, not everyone has healthy kidneys—and very few people are even aware when there’s a problem. In fact, 33% of adults in the U.S. (that’s 1 in 3 people!) are at risk for kidney disease, which often goes undetected until much of the organs are destroyed and function impaired.
