The kidneys are a vital organ system in the body. In addition to clearing the blood of metabolic waste products they perform vital support services to other systems. The kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin, which helps bone marrow produce red blood cells. The kidneys also form the active form of Vitamin D that helps bones grow strong.
