First held in 1979, Kidney Health Month aims to increase public awareness of kidney disease and raise funds for related research. The kidneys play a key filtration role in the body. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.
