How do our kidneys work ?

Think of your kidneys as an extremely sophisticated, waste disposal system, which sorts non-recyclable waste from recyclable waste, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
while also cleaning your blood. Much of this waste is produced by the body as it processes the food you eat. Most people are born with two kidneys, each one about the size of an adult fist, are bean-shaped and weight around 150 grams each. The kidneys are located at both sides of your backbone just under the rib cage or above the small of your back.
