When your body uses the food you eat and the liquids you drink, there are waste products that your kidneys filter out as urine. When your kidneys are healthy, they keep your whole system in balance. They stimulate your body to make red blood cells.
When our bodies digest the protein we eat, the process creates waste products. In the kidneys, millions of tiny blood vessels (capillaries) with even tinier holes in them act as filters. As blood flows through the blood vessels, small molecules such as waste products squeeze through the holes. These waste products become part of the urine. Useful substances, such as protein and red blood cells, are too big to pass through the holes in the filter and stay in the blood. Diabetes can damage this system.
