Neurology is a branch of medicine known for its complexity and to this date, there are innumerable diseases for which diagnosis is difficult and the treatment remains unknown. It deals with the study of the nervous system- which coordinates and regulates various bodily activities. It’s divided into the Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) and the Peripheral Nervous System. It may seem that the brain and spinal cord which lay deep within protective coverings are immune to harm, however such is not the case.

It has been noted that the causes of neurological disorders may vary from genetic predisposition, brain tumors, and stroke to brain injury. And the symptom encompasses a wide range from physical (disoriented, poor coordination of muscles) to emotional (like mood swings). According to the WHO in 2006, nearly one billion were affected by neurological diseases and as a consequence faced the social stigma and discrimination attached to it. So, it is our responsibility as humans, as family members to accept and attune ourselves to such possibilities and help eradicate the narrow minded thinking.

But there are some interesting facts that most people don't know: kidneys receive a higher level of blood flow than the heart, brain and even the liver (the largest organ in our bodies.) They filter close to 180 liters of blood everyday and in the absence of one, the other kidney can perform all the functions normally.  

In addition to all of these functions, kidneys also help maintain the water balance in one's body along with which they help in maintaining the blood composition and help regulate blood pressure. Another fact that most are unaware of is that people who smoke, don't just put their lungs at risk, their kidneys are also greatly harmed because of the habit.
