The kidney is a vital part of the body, which filters the blood and discards the waste through urine. The blood goes through the kidney several times, and the kidney cleans it every time. The kidney also balances the electrolytes in the body. Kidney failure is when due to harmful reasons, the kidney stops functioning properly and slowly stops working at all.

Kidney stones are a solid deposit that resides in the kidneys.

4. Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer only happens in men, it has a harmful effect on kidneys. The process of urination is affected when the prostate is affected. The prostate can intervene with the process of urine passing from the kidney to the bladder. Due to this blockage, the bladder and the kidney are unable to work properly.
