Understanding Kidney Disease -- the Basics. The kidneys are two organs located in your midsection on either side of your spine in the middle of your back, just above the waist. They clean your blood, keep the balance of salt and minerals in your blood, and help control blood pressure. When your kidneys are damaged, waste products and fluid can build up in your body, causing swelling in your ankles, vomiting, weakness, poor sleep, and shortness of breath. If you don't treat them, diseased kidneys may eventually stop working completely.
According to trulia.com, the average price for a one-bedroom home in Chicago is actually down from this time last year. The price now stands at $201,500. The average price for a two-bedroom home in Chicago is $187,000. For a three-bedroom itâs $226,000.
The only mystery about Chicago is why it's as (relatively) affordable as it is. The cost to live comfortably here is $68,67, more than $15,000 a year less than New York or LA, the other two of the three biggest cities in the nation. If you don't mind lake-effect snow, you should definitely consider locating here.
