Unit 6 focused on digestion, nutrition, renal function, and acid-base balance. Much information was presented on all topics, and each topic’s importance must be balanced. We often do not consider how our food and drink consumption impacts our kidney function and urinary output. When one consumes a great deal of water, they will have increased urinary output as the body will maintain a balance of water within the body and will increase the output of diluted urine to maintain homeostasis.
