Kidney is most important organ of our body. What all kidney do? filters blood, Kidneys throws out wastes materials from our body, creates fluid balance in the body, and keep the correct levels of electrolytes. In a day all of the blood in our body passes through them about 40 times.

Our precious kidneys have so many functions to perform and if you are not being careful about its health can lead to some irreversible complications. You will be shocked to know that a large number of population is living with kidney disease but they are not aware about it. Sad to say kidney disease is progressive.

If you have chronic dry and itchy skin it can indicate mineral and bone disease, which is indirectly linked with advanced kidney disorder. When kidneys are not able to strike a correct balance of minerals and nutrients in the blood it simply leads to dry and itchy skin.
