Drug metabolism: liver Phase I/II metabolites are mostly renally excreted. Hepatic or renal impairment burdens the other — combined pharmacokinetics is the core risk in polypharmacy.

Vitamin D's final activation step (CYP27B1) happens in the kidney. As kidney function falls that step stalls, 1,25(OH)₂D drops, and calcium-phosphate control goes with it — the chemical starting point of CKD mineral-bone disease.
Gluconeogenesis is not only a liver job: in prolonged starvation the kidney carries roughly 40% of it. 'The liver runs blood glucose' is an outdated simplification — the kidney is a glucose factory too, which is one reason failing kidneys drag blood sugar with them.

Kidneys are endocrine organs: EPO (erythropoiesis), 1α-hydroxylase (vitamin D activation), RAAS (renin → aldosterone). Declining function cascades through multiple hormone axes.

CKD → phosphate retention + impaired vitamin D activation + secondary hyperparathyroidism → renal osteodystrophy. The 'bone tax' of declining kidney function is a mandatory clinical management target.
Kidney stones: calcium oxalate (~75%), uric acid, calcium phosphate, struvite, cystine. Drivers: urine volume (<2 L/d markedly raises risk) + oxalate + calcium + citrate + pH + purines. Diet = first-line; recurrent / bilateral / familial → full metabolic workup.
Cardiorenal syndrome: CKD is the #1 cardiovascular mortality risk factor; reverse — heart failure is the #1 in-hospital cause of AKI. Bidirectional mechanisms (RAAS + volume + chronic inflammation + uremic toxins). Treating one often misses the other.
Acid-base homeostasis is co-regulated by lungs (CO₂ exhalation) and kidneys (HCO₃⁻ reabsorption). COPD-related CO₂ retention triggers renal base conservation; renal failure drives compensatory hyperventilation (Kussmaul breathing).

Protein harming kidneys is a common misreading: on the real CKD risk list it ranks low, behind diabetes, hypertension, nephrotoxic drugs and aristolochic acid. For healthy people 1.6-2.0 g/kg/day is safe.
