Immuno-Diagnostics Antibodies & Antigens for Veterinary Kidney Function Test

Kidney function is essentially necessary in animals to remove blood wastes, excess water and electrolytes and other related roles in controlling blood pressure. Kidneys also release erythropoietin for the formation of required red blood cells and hormone to balance acid and base concentration to make proper functioning of nerve and muscle.

What is Kidney function for animals

Kidney function in animals is one of the significant body functions, which are necessary for the well-being of an animal and the performance of numerous tasks. Kidneys help in filtering the blood , removing wastes products and substances that may be in excess in the body in maintaining the balance of body fluids. It manages water and electrolytes, the concentrations of salts and acids in the body necessary for proper function of the nervous and muscular systems. Kidneys also interact with the regulation of blood pressure through affecting blood volume and releasing an enzyme called renin. Besides, they synthesise erythropoietin which helps the bones produce red blood cells that aid in circulation of oxygen in the body. Thus, maintaining the acid-base equilibrium, the kidneys have a central role in the general metabolism.
