Riñón

Riñón

Los riñones son dos órganos que filtran los materiales de desecho de la sangre. Esos desechos se eliminan del cuerpo en forma de orina. Los riñones producen hormonas importantes, además de regular la presión sanguínea y los niveles de agua, sales y minerales presentes en el cuerpo. Los riñones de las personas que padecen de diabetes durante muchos años pueden dañarse, en especial si la diabetes no se controla. Los riñones están ubicados uno a cada lado de la columna, justo debajo de la caja torácica.
