The kidneys act as filters to remove waste materials from the blood; these waste materials are then passed out of the body in the urine.

If the kidneys become too damaged to function properly, a person may need to undergo regular (two-three times per week) dialysis treatments, in which the blood is circulated through a machine that removes the waste material.
