The kidneys secrete a variety of hormones, including erythropoietin, urodilatin and vitamin D.
See this link for all about kidneys, including diagrams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidneys
One of the critical hormones secreted by the kidneys is something called ACE, which constricts the blood vessels, causing a rise in blood pressure. Sick kidneys = high blood pressure.

yes, erythropoietin and calcitriol.
erythropoietin stimulate bone marrow to produce more red blood cells
Calcitriol promotes calcium absorption from food and causes bone calcium to be "mobilized" into the blood
