Like heart and liver, kidneys are organs of critical importance. In fact, they are also known as erythropoietic organs. That means, a kidney is the key player in body’s physiology, forming an interface between the cardiovascular system and nervous system. It is responsible for controlling blood sugar, absorption of proteins, maintaining mineral metabolism and preventing hypertension. And so, if unfortunately it comes under the grip of some disease, it must be treated in a sensitive manner. For this, one should make sure that one is consulting a doctor who is expert in nephrology.
