Kidneys
  1. Kidney Failure
    1. Dialysis
      1. The filtering of blood using an artificial kidney machine.
        1. Removes urea and other waste.
        2. Expensive and time-consuming
        3. Transplant
          1. Transplants can be rejected and medication must be taken for the rest of your life to prevent the transplant being rejected.
            1. Requires surgery and associated risks
              1. A precise donor is needed
            2. The Nephron
              1. Ultrafiltration
                1. High pressure forces fluid from the blood through the walls of the glomerulus and into the space in the middle of the Bowman's capsule.
