The liver would be the largest and one of the most vital organs in our body. However, symptoms of liver malfunction are usually difficult to recognize, and many patients damage their liver without realizing they need treatment. According to this, the liver is also known as the ‘Silent Organ’.

The kidney would filter our blood and excrete waste products from our body. There are many reasons which cause the kidney malfunction. However, once the kidney is damaged, it will be difficult to recover. Hence, it is important to detect malfunctions early to recover from kidney disorders quicker.
As the function of the kidney becomes weaker, the patient may feel more sluggish, experience swelling in the kidney and also excrete more urine. Furthermore, the kidney significantly contributes to hematopoiesis (production of blood cells) and the development of bones. Thus, the patient may experience symptoms of anemia with kidney disorders.
As kidney failure progresses, the patient may have to undergo artificial kidney dialysis and their quality of life would remarkably decrease. Furthermore, likewise with the liver, symptoms of kidney failure are difficult to recognize. Thus, it will be important for patients to monitor the status of their kidneys frequently.
