The system removes waste from the body?

The urinary system (the kidneys).


How does a person create urine without kidneys?

The human body cannot create urine without kidneys. Without renal (kidney) function, a person will die in just a few days. The kidneys perform several functions in the body. One of these functions is to remove metabolic waste products from the blood. The kidneys secrete waste products in the form of urine, which is collected in the bladder until the person expels the urine from the body during urination (peeing). The only way to perform the same waste removal function from the blood without using the kidneys is to carry out a medical procedure called dialysis. In hemodialisis, the blood is removed from the body through a tube inserted into a vein. A pump regulates the rate of flow of blood removal, and pumps the blood through a filter that removes the metabolic byproducts. Then the filtered blood is returned to the body through a second tube inserted into another vein. Peritoneal dialysis is a rarer form of dialysis in which a sterile cleansing fluid is pumped into the abdominal cavity through a catheter. The fluid remains inside the abdomen for a set period of time while it collects the metabolic waste products through a process called osmosis. Once the fluid has absorbed sufficient metabolic byproducts, the tainted fluid is flushed out of the abdominal cavity using the same catheter.
