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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you live without ureter?
You can live with just one but the other kidney would have to be removed or the drainage of urine from that kidney would have to be rerouted.
What Main organs of excretion remove water and salt produce urine?
The main organs of excretion that remove water and salt and produce urine are the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste products, excess salts, and water from the blood to form urine. Urine is then transported from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters for elimination from the body.
What organ cleans the blood and makes urine?
The kidneys filter the blood to produce urine
What is a function of the ureter?

Urine formation in the kidney
Can a person live without a bladder?
yes but you would have to walk around with a bag with urine and have a tube were the urine comes from the kidneys
What is the inability of kidneys to create urine called?

Urine is made in the kidneys
What organ of the urinary system produces urine?
The kidneys produce urine.
Is the urine produced by the liver and then collected in the bladder?
No, urine is not produced by the liver; it is produced by the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste and excess substances from the blood to create urine, which then flows through the ureters to the bladder for storage. The liver plays a role in detoxifying substances and metabolizing nutrients, but it does not produce urine.
What is excreted from the kidneys?
Urine is excreted from the kidneys.
Which organ from urine?

Does the bladder store the urine produced in the kidneys?
Yes, the urinary bladder stores urine produced in the kidneys.
What Main organs of excretion remove water and salt produce urine?
The main organs of excretion that remove water and salt and produce urine are the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste products, excess salts, and water from the blood to form urine. Urine is then transported from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters for elimination from the body.
