They filter blood, excreting waste (urea, creatinine) while maintaining electrolyte balance, acid-base equilibrium, and fluid levels. Each kidney regulates blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and supports red blood cell production by releasing erythropoietin. * '''..." current Tag: Visual edit
