I am Francis D.C Onuoha, but popularly addressed as "Man-Dc", the third out of the four sons of my linguistic parents; Mr/Mrs John Onuoha. I was born and brought up in Imo state, 'the Eastern part of Nigeria'(Africa's most populous country). I can speak and write the following languages, Igbo,English and Latin fluently. I normally take interest in the curative measure of ill health, as I learn t from my noble grand pa during my early days. As a result, I am well known as one of the seven best graduating Biochemist of the university of Nigeria Nsukka (2006). however, curative measure of diseases has exposed me to technology, the practical use of scientific knowledge. I currently reside in Enugu Nigeria, where I practice researches and computer operation. I remain Francis Chibuihe Onuoha.

I have a hard time reading your blog. The post area is translucent and the font color blends in and I strain to read it. Maybe if you change th font color to that of your titles of each paragraph OR make the post background scrolling not fixed. If you are going to do a dark background you need a light font for reader visibility, just as if you had a light background you use a dark font.

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASES
The main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. The kidneys process about 200 liters of blood every day and produce about two liters of urine. The waste products are generated from normal metabolic processes including the breakdown of active tissues, ingested foods, and other substances. The kidneys allow consumption of a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins and supplements, additives, and excess fluids without worry that toxic by-products will build up to harmful levels. The kidney also plays a major role in regulating levels of various minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium in the blood.
* As the first step in filtration, blood is delivered into the glomeruli by microscopic leaky blood vessels called capillaries. Here, blood is filtered of waste products and fluid while red blood cells, proteins, and large molecules are retained in the capillaries. In addition to wastes, some useful substances are also filtered out. The filtrate collects in a sac called Bowman's capsule.
* The tubules are the next step in the filtration process. The tubules are lined with highly functional cells which process the filtrate, reabsorbing water and chemicals useful to the body while secreting some additional waste products into the tubule.
The kidneys also produce certain hormones that have important functions in the body, including the following:
* Active form of vitamin D (calcitriol or 1,25 dihydroxy-vitamin D), which regulates absorption of calcium and phosphorus from foods, promoting formation of strong bone.
* Erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
