Which substances are removed from blood plasma by the kidneys?

Answer 1

The waste products of metabolism are removed from your blood. Urea and creatinine is too toxic for your brain. They are removed from your blood by your kidneys. The extra water and sodium as well as potassium and other salts are removed by your kidneys. The drug metabolites are also removed by your kidneys. The urine becomes acidic or alkaline to preserve the pH of your body.

Answer 2

Dialysis will remove certain waste products, electrolytes, and fluid from the body to prevent them from accumulating. Examples are urea, creatinine, potassium, bicarbonate, and water. Blood should not be removed.

Put very simply, dialysis is like the filter you use to make your coffee. When you make coffee, you put ground coffee in the filter. Water can pass over the coffee and then through the filter. The coffee itself cannot go through. This is an example of a selectively permeable membrane. That's a fancy way of saying that some things can go through the membrane but not others.

With dialysis, your blood cells and proteins in your blood are like the coffee--they can't go through, so they stay in your body. Everything else can pass through. As far as medications, some can pass through and some can't--it depends on the medication.
