<< Kidneys are an elimination organ for excess protein >>
Only diseased kidneys result in protein in the urine. THe kidneys play an
active role in modulating the composition of the body. They are much more than
an organ of elimination. "Thinking of the kidneys as an elimination organ is
like thinking of a restaurant as primarily a business that manufactures
trash/refuse/waste."---quote from a kidney expert in a leading medical college
