How does the amount of water you drink affect your performance in school or outside of school?
Not getting enough water affects your health. Your kidneys are the organs which filter toxins and poisonous waste material out of your blood. If you don't drink enough water, your kidneys can't properly filter the blood, and the toxins build up in your body. When toxins build up in your brain, your ability to think and perform in school suffers. When toxins build up in your muscles, your ability to perform sports suffers.You should drink 8-10 full glasses of water or non-caffeine drink daily in order to be healthy.
What happens if you miss dialysis sessions?
yes, it can be. dialysis is used to take over the functions of the kidneys that can't work to remove toxins from the bloodstream. If you let those toxins keep building up you can die from blood poisoning.
How the kidneys filter the blood?
Kidneys filter the blood in the body by removing the toxins and disposing them through urine. This function helps the body to clear any build up of waste within the body, and helps to keep the body from poisoning itself.
What would happen if we didn't have a kidney?
Your body would build up toxins eventually causing death unless you wre to seek medical attention and go on to dialysis which filters the blood for the kidneys.
Swelling of one or both kidneys due to an obstruction in the flow of urine?
If there is an obstruction in the flow of urine from the kidneys, this will cause the urine to become backed up within the kidney. This could cause major issues within the body. The function of the kidneys is to release toxins from the body. If the kidneys are unable to remove the toxins from the body, it will cause damage to the kidneys, further impairing their function and poisoning the body. If the kidneys are damaged, one may have to undergo dialysis to filter the toxins from the body.

Why cant you live without kidneys?
Your kidneys filter toxic substances out of your blood. If you didn't have kidneys, these would build up and basically poison you.
If your kidneys fail will you die?
yup. one way to classify types of kidney failure is the physical area the problem starts. ill name them and put examples... Pre-renal (renal means kidney, Pre means before): - not enough blood flow to kidneys causing cells to die. this can happen by physical obstruction of the vessels or even if the person does not have enough blood left in thier body. intra-renal (intra means within): -rhabdomyolysis for example is when by products of muscle get into the functional parts of your kidneys, the bowmans capsule. these by products block up the filtering part of your kidneys, and nothing can pass through, causing build up of toxins in the body. Post-renal (post means after): - kidney stones, prostatic hyperplasia (swollen prostate), and any physical obstructions can prevent urine from passing and build up pressure in the kidneys. the kidneys depend on a very delicate balance of physical pressure and osmotic pressure to selectively filter out toxins. a physical blockage can increase the pressure and prevent the kidneys from filtering out toxins. leading to a build up in the body. the increased pressure can also damage the kidney, so after the blockage is cleared, some damage can be done. To be clear, it would have to be one hell of a kidney stone! most pass very painfully, but they do pass. jason RN, EMT-A
Why do you give amphogel instead of maalox to renal patients?
I just found this out because my dog is in renal failure. Amphogel (aluminum hydroxide) is a "phosphorus binding agent" which is needed to excrete phosphorus due to the failing kidney's ability to process and excrete toxins. Build up of toxins in the system takes place when the kidneys are damaged and or failing and they're unable to process these toxins and excrete from the body in the urine. Hope this helps
