ABOUT THIS SESSION

The kidney is a master regulator of internal homeostasis, maintaining fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base balance essential for survival. With Dr. Sanjay Kalra, this perspective highlights the kidney as an endocrine and metabolic organ, producing renin and erythropoietin and activating vitamin D to influence blood pressure, erythropoiesis, and bone health. The kidney also plays a critical role in glucose regulation and cardiovascular risk modulation. Preserving renal function is therefore central to preventing multisystem complications and improving long-term outcomes.
