N25: Disorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function
N25.9: Disorder resulting from impaired renal tubular function, unspecified
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.
