what happens to blood in the kidneys?

It is filtered and the impurites are removed. It is 'tested' by the kidneys for perfect balance and then fluid and the other extra things are removed. For example if you took a medication or ate alot of beets, your urine changes color because the kidney removed the beet coloring and the medication that wasn't used by your body before it got there. The kidneys also help to control your blood preasure.

do u mean liver cirrhosis? if the liver is damaged it doesnt work properly so substances that are usually removed by the liver pass into the blood stream....the kidney then has to filter these extra substances and can get damaged by excesses, much of which comes out in the urine.  also in severe liver failure the kidneys will become affected and in turn they will fail too

YOUR BODY WILL START REJECTING BLOOD DUE TO WHICH IT PRODUCE ANTIGEN AGAINST ANTIBODIES OF THE OTHER BLOOD TYPE.\nTHIS MAY SUFFER YOUR BODY AND IF NOT TREATED PROPERLY THE PERSON MAY DIE.

The main job of your kidkeys is to clean certain waste products from your blood. They do this by carefully filtering your blood, and what they filter out becomes your urine. This means that when you pee, you are removing the waste products produced throughout your body which your kidneys expertly removed from your blood.  \n\nThis kidey's job is very important. If your kidneys stop working, these waste products can build up in your blood and over the course of a week or so will reach levels that can kill you. Fortunately, dialysis is a way to keep that from happening.\n\nDialysis is basically a way to have a machine play to the role of your kidneys and filter your blood for you. There are two main types of dialysis-- peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In peritoneal dialysis, a tube is placed in your abdomen and your abdominal cavity is filled and flushed several times a day with a special fluid. In hemodialysis, needles are placed in your arm and your blood flows through a special machine. In either case, what is happening is that certain waste products are being removed from you blood, just like your kidneys would normally do. Both of the methods work, and your doctor can help you decide which is best for you.\n\nUnfortunately, people who begin dialysis often will require dialysis for the rest of their lives. Sometimes people can receive a kidney transplant. If you get a new kidney, you can stop dialysis since your new kidney can begin filtering your blood for you.\n\nStarting dialysis can be scary. It often means that a person's kidney disease has become worse. Still, people on dialysis lead full and productive lives. Even some famous actors and professional athletes have been on dialysis. Although it can seem scary at first, dialysis is a way to help people with serious kidney disease live a long and rich life.\n\nThe best person to talk to is your doctor. Your doctor can help you understand the details specific to you, and can explain more about what you can expect from dialysis.\n\nHope this helps!

No organ produces Blood Plasma, it is a product of several organs or one could say the body.  It consists of (mostly) water, salts(electrolytes), and proteins (albumin and antibodies being the majority).  All the water, salts, and proteins ultimately are derived from the GI tract; i.e., what you eat.  The water and salts are regulated by the renal system.  Albumin is produced by the liver (and it is in the majority for plasma protein) and antibodies are a product of the immune system.  There is also a balance of proteins and water within the vasculature (intravascular space)and without (extravascular space).  So, there is always an influx/efflux balance between your tissues and the vasculature depending on the osmostic pressure (mostly) and mechanical pressure.  This is all in one giant balance or homeostasis most of the time.  Hence, why it's a good idea to see plasma as a total body product.\n\nI just read the above answers.  Plasma is NOT produced in the bone marrow.  Blood cells are produced in the marrow.  Plasma is what you have left over when you remove those cells.

After the blood leave the left ventricles it passes through the aorta and the aorta take the blood to the whole body

If the kidneys shut down, the body has no way to filter and then pass it on to the bladder. The "dirty" fluid can not be removed from the blood which is very dangerous (deadly). The kidney could stop working for several reasons. Some of the common ones is because of heart, artery or blood pressure trouble. A lot of heart patients end up on dialysis to filter their blood of the toxic fluids that the kidneys can't get rid of. Kidney disease, Lupus and other systemic conditions can also cause renal failure. Hopefully there has been some testing to determine the exact nature of the problem so treatment can begin.

Blood has lots of functions.  It carries oxygen and nutrients.  It causes clotting.  It is the avenue which the kidneys use to remove waste from our bodies.

Back pain is often associated with the kidneys.  Your kidneys are located near your back, alongside your spine, but above your waistline. Each kidney contains over a million nephrons. These nephrons are necessary for proper kidney function.   Nephrotoxicity, one of the most common kidney problems, occurs when your body is exposed to a drug or toxin that causes damage to your kidneys.   When kidney damage occurs, you are unable to rid your body of excess urine, and wastes. Your blood electrolytes (such as potassium, and magnesium) will all become elevated. These conditions can often cause pain.

Your body will accumulate water in order to dilute the excess salts you have taken.  This added volume of liquid in the blood stream is what increase blood pressure.  High blood pressure will then bring on all sorts of health problems from headaches to heart failure including brain damage, anuerisms, kidney failure as well as damage to other organs.\n\nCheck this out..\n\nhttp://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=3846

on drinking lot of water the osmotic pressure of blood falls and excess water is then absorbed by the nephron of the kidney and excreated out to maintain the osmocity of blood

A kidney infection or medically known as Pyelonephritis is caused by Strep infection which is a bacteria (E. coli, klebsiella, etc.) If you have one and havent seen a Dr. I urge that you do ASAP..Kidney infections are dangerous & nothing to take lightly...If left untreated, they can cause blood poisoning, loss of a kidney, or perhaps even death!!!

I am not an expert on this topic so here is a quotation:\n"Your body's cells use chemical reactions to carry out tasks such as turning food into energy and repairing tissue. These chemical reactions generate acids. But too much acid in the blood—acidosis—can disturb many bodily functions. Healthy kidneys help maintain acid-base balance by excreting acids into the urine and returning bicarbonate—an alkaline, or base, substance—to the blood. This "reclaimed" bicarbonate neutralizes much of the acid that is created when food is broken down in the body. \n\nRenal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a disease that occurs when the kidneys fail to excrete acids into the urine, which causes a person's blood to remain too acidic. Without proper treatment, chronic acidity of the blood leads to growth retardation, kidney stones, bone disease, and progressive renal failure"

As you know, ADH is responsible to maintain a constant level of water in blood. Hence, when the level of water in blood is low, ADH will be secreted so that absorption of water molecules from kidney tubules occurs. Thus, to come back to your question, it can be said that ADH secretion will definitely decrease but if the concentration of water in a person's blood is too high, then ADH secretion may stop for a short lapse of time.

Sympstoms\n1.Changes in Urination\nKidneys make urine, so when the kidneys are failing, the urine may change. You may have to get up at night to urinate. Urine may be foamy or bubbly. You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale urine. \nYou may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual with dark colored urine. Your urine may contain blood. You may feel pressure or have difficulty urinating. \n\n2: Swelling\nFailing kidneys don't remove extra fluid, which builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, and/or hands.\n\n3: Fatigue\nHealthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin (a-rith'-ro-po'-uh-tin) that tells your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less erythropoietin. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain become tired very quickly. This condition is called anemia, and it can be treated.\n\n\nPrevention:\nKeep your blood pressure below 130/80. Learn to check your blood pressure at home. \nIf you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible. Your doctor will want you to check your blood sugar several times each day. \nMaintain a healthy weight. This can help you prevent other diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. \nMaintain healthy levels of fats (lipids), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. \nDo not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking can lead to atherosclerosis, which reduces blood flow to the kidneys and increases blood pressure.

this is called the bioavailability of a drug. the aspirin is absorbed into the blood stream after being ingested, it enters the liver where it is broken down this is called 1st pass metabolism.  the remainder is utilised by the body the active ingredient.  the kidneys should not be excreting aspirin so u can not find out by this method.  most drugs have a certain calculated bioavailability so this is what you should be looking 4

The Kidney's primary function is to remove waste material from the blood stream.  Oxygen is used by every cell in the body to help metabolize nutrients.
