Our kidneys work as filters that filter waste products and
extra water from your blood and produce urine as a result. The average adult
passes between 0.8L and 2.6L per day, depending on the fluids a person consumes.
The tiny units inside your kidneys, called nephrons, are the actual filtering
unit. Every kidney has about a million nephrons. Most kidney diseases attack the
nephrons, altering their ability to filter blood and produce urine.
