- kidney function
- maintain water balance of the body
- produce urine by filtration of the blood and selective reabsorption of glucose, ions and water
- a dialysis machine removes urea from the blood by diffusion while maintaining ion and glucose levels
- digestion of proteins results in excess amino acid
- in the liver they are de-aminated to form toxic ammonia which is converted to urea
- kidney transplants are a cure for kidney failure but can be rejected
