The kidneys are filtering units of the body. A bean-shaped kidney has one million tiny filters, or nephrons, that separates the nutrients and other important substances and entities of the body needs from waste products and excess fluid; commonly thrown out of the body as urine. Nephrology focuses on ensuring the normal functioning of kidneys by treating conditions that hinder its processes.
