Humans can live with as little as >>> one-third of one kidney. The trouble is, however, that when renal >>> function is so marginal, all it takes is a little added stress on the >>> body to push one into renal insufficiency. >>> >>> Short of hemodialysis or kidney transplant, renal insufficiency will >>> push one into azotemia, the accumulation of toxic nitrogenous wastes in the >>> blood, leading to the functional decline of other organs (especially >>> the brain) and potentially, death from multiorgan failure. >>> >>> A healthy adult has about 1.0 to 1.2 million microscopic functional >>> units called nephrons in each kidney. They do all the work of filtering the >>> blood and transforming the filtrate to urine. >>> >>> Renal nephrons—a vascular “corrosion cast” viewed by scanning electron >>> microscopy. >>> >>> Normally, the two kidneys produce about 1 to 1.5 liters of urine per >>> day, or 50 to 60 mL/hour. >>> >>> If output falls below 400 mL/d for very long, the body can’t rid itself >>> of wastes as fast as they’re produced, and azotemia sets in. >>> >>> If 75% or more of the nephrons are lost or nonfunctional (damaged by >>> chronic hypertension or renal atherosclerosis, for example), urine output >>> can be as low as 30 mL/h, and then one can’t maintain the body’s internal >>> stability (homeostasis). At 90% loss of functional nephrons, azotemia >>> develops and can progress to a neurotoxic and potentially fatal level >>> called uremia. Such a degree of renal insufficiency will also cause >>> hypertension (from fluid accumulation) and anemia (from loss of the >>> kidneys’ synthesis of the blood-stimulating hormone EPO, erythropooetin). >>> >>> We lose a lot of renal function just in the normal course of aging. >>> >>> From age 25 to 85, we lose 60% to 70% of our nephrons and up to >>> one-third of those that remain are bloodless and non-functional. The >>> kidneys of a 90-year-old are 20% to 40% smaller than those of a 30-year-old >>> and receive only half as much blood. >>> >>> This is one reason that overmedication of the elderly is common—their >>> kidneys cannot remove drugs and their metabolites from the body as >>> efficiently as when they were younger. >>> >>> It’s also one reason why excessive alcohol consumption is a bigger >>> problem for older people. >>> >>> My note- I hope this answer by a professor of Histology in most simple >>> manner, about Kidney. As we age kidney becomes less efficient even for a >>> healthy person. Then consider the case of a diabetic.
