Ep164 The Kidneys: What Do They Actually Do?

Your kidneys work around the clock—but most people rarely think about them until something goes wrong. In this episode, we explain what the kidneys are, where they are located, and the critical role they play in filtering blood, balancing fluids, and removing waste from the body. We also explore why kidney injuries matter in first aid and trauma situations, including how internal bleeding and kidney damage can occur after blunt force injuries.
