Proper Nutrition for People with Renal Failure
Although they are only about four inches in length, the kidneys work together to filter just over 18 gallons of blood every hour of the day for a total of just over 400 gallons every day. Over half of all of the fluids that are taken in by the body are filtered by these two organs and is then released as urine. During a typical day the kidneys may produce and send about two quarts of urine to the bladder for elimination from the body every single day.
