N25: Disorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function
N25.8: Other disorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function
There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate blood pressure and the mineral levels in the blood, among other things. If the kidneys do not work properly, the levels of important messenger substances and minerals in the blood may change.
This can affect the balance of acids in the blood and kidney stones may form.
Changes in minerals in the blood can alter bones. Pain may occur at the affected areas.
