The '''kidneys''' are a pair of organs, each located on either side of the spinal cord below the rib cage that filter [[metabolic]] waste products from the blood. The waste is turned into urine and eliminated from the body. In addition, kidneys help control the body's fluid balance and help keep the right levels of [[electrolytes]] circulating in the bloodstream.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/picture-of-the-kidneys | title = The Kidneys: Picture, Function, Conditions, Tests, Treatments | last = Hoffman | first = Matthew | last2 = MD|website=WebMD|language=en|access-date=2019-02-01}}</ref> The [[adrenal glands]] sit atop the kidneys. == ME/CFS == == Research studies == * 2016, Widespread pain and altered renal function in [[ME/CFS]] patients<ref>{{Cite journal | last = McGregor | first = Neil R. | authorlink = Neil McGregor | last2 = Armstrong | first2 = Christopher W. | authorlink2 = Christopher Armstrong | last3 = Lewis | first3 = Donald P. | authorlink3 = Donald Lewis | last4 = Butt | first4 = Henry L. | authorlink4 = Henry Butt | last5 = Gooley | first5 = Paul R. | authorlink5 = Paul Gooley | date = Jul 2016 | title = Metabolic profiling reveals anomalous energy metabolism and oxidative stress pathways in chronic fatigue syndrome patients|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21641846.2016.1207400?journalCode=rftg20|journal = Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health & Behavior |volume=4|issue=3|pages=132-145|doi=10.1080/21641846.2016.1207400|quote=|via=}}</ref> [http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21641846.2016.1207400?journalCode=rftg20 (Abstract)] == See also == * [[Adrenal glands]] * [[Nutcracker phenomenon]] * [[Dr Markov's chronic bacterial intoxication syndrome (CBIS) theory of ME/CFS]] (Dr Markov believes ME/CFS is caused by a bacterial dysbiosis in the kidneys) ==References== {{stub}}<references /> [[Category:Anatomy]]
