The kidneys play a vital role in removing waste, salt and extra water from the body, controlling blood pressure levels, and keeping safe levels of certain chemicals such as potassium, sodium and bicarbonate. When disease or injury prevent the kidneys from doing their job, your doctor may prescribe dialysis to assist the kidneys.
