It is important for the kidney to be healthy because 100% of your blood passes through it. If Your kidney gets diseased you suffer from it. Also kidney stones are very painful when a there is clotting and the clot tears through your tissue into your kidney. These are very painful. Simple ways to prevent these is to drink plenty of water and go to the bathroom frequently too create circulation. You should also have your kidney often checked for cancer in it is often fatal.
