What Does the Excretory System Do?

Common Diseases with the Excretory System

With the role in generating and eliminating body wastes, it is easy to understand why the excretory system is prone to many diseases. Most of them occur when the kidneys face a problem. Blood pressure is strictly linked to the amount of fluid in the body. When the kidneys cannot work properly to filter them, your blood pressure would increase to a dangerous level. Therefore, those with malfunctioning kidneys need to go through dialysis. This is a procedure that helps filter the blood with the help of a machine. [10]
