Detailed explanation-1: -It is well established that the kidney plays an essential role in regulating the homeostasis of body fluids. Recent studies provided evidence for the kidney to be an important organ for the regulation in the metabolism of both fat (vitamin A, D) and water soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin B12).

Detailed explanation-2: -Special renal vitamins are usually prescribed to kidney patients to provide the extra water soluble vitamins needed. Renal vitamins contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin and a small dose of vitamin C.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys have an important role in making vitamin D useful to the body. The kidneys convert vitamin D from supplements or the sun to the active form of vitamin D that is needed by the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals-such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium-in your blood.
