Functions of Kidney -

    • Erythropoietin: This controls erythropoiesis or the production of red blood cells. The liver also produces erythropoietin, but the kidneys are its main producers in adults.
    • Renin: This helps manage the expansion of arteries and the volume of blood plasma, lymph, and interstitial fluid.
    • Calcitriol: This is the hormonally active metabolite of vitamin D. It increases both the amount of calcium that the intestines can absorb and the reabsorption of phosphate in the kidney.
