patients and the public.
The theme for today's Health Information Week post is all about kidney health.
The main job of the kidneys is to cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine. When the kidneys are not working properly, harmful toxins and excess fluids build up in the body, which may cause the symptoms of kidney failure.
There are lots of good quality resources for patients aimed at helping to keep the kidneys healthy and functioning properly.
