which organ purifies our blood - #21600

Kabir

I am really confused and worried about my health lately. I’ve been feeling super fatigued and just not right. I went to the doc and he mentioned something about blood tests. While I was waiting, I overheard some nurses talking about which organ purifies our blood and it got me thinking a lot. Honestly, I thought our blood just sort of cleaned itself? Anyway, I got my test results back and they said something about elevated levels of toxins or waste or something like that, and I couldn’t help but wonder, which organ purifies our blood specifically? Like, is it the kidneys or the liver? I was under the impression my liver was important for detox, but do the kidneys play a role too in purifying our blood? I tried googling it and got all mixed up, so I thought I’d just ask REAL doctors because google can be so vague. I also have been having this strange pain in my lower back and I read maybe that’s kidney related?? But then again, could it just be stress? Is there more research on which organ purifies our blood, like any symptoms I should watch for? This is all so overwhelming! Thanks!
