The main job of the kidneys is to regulate he amount of water in the body + balance the conc. of mineral ions in the blood
The amount of water in the blood must be kept constant to avoid cell damage as a result of osmosis
ADH controls the reabsorbtion of water in the kidney tubules
Erythropoietin is a hormone which controls how fast new RBC are made
People with kidney failure do not make enough of this
AS a result they become anaemic
