Which of these statements is correct? 1. The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste products from the body. 2. The kidneys are involved in digesting food. 3. In a healthy individual, the Kidneys produce urine that contains high levels of glucose.

Only statement one is true as the kidneys are not involved in digestion, but do filter the blood of waste products. Glucose is found in high concentrations in the urine of diabetics, who cannot absorb glucose without working insulin.
