What substances can be removed from the blood by kidney machines ?
Answers
Kidneys have many jobs, from filtering blood and making pee to keeping bones healthy and making a hormone that controls the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys also help regulate blood pressure, the level of salts in the blood, and the acid-base balance (the pH) of the blood. All these jobs make the kidneys essential to keeping the body working as it should.
Answer:
Urea and some salts.
Explanation:
Blood cells, protein, and other important things remain in your blood because they are too big to pass through the membrane. Smaller waste products in the blood, such as urea, creatinine, potassium, and extra fluid pass through the membrane and are washed away.
