∙ 9y ago
If there is an obstruction in the flow of urine from the kidneys, this will cause the urine to become backed up within the kidney. This could cause major issues within the body. The function of the kidneys is to release toxins from the body. If the kidneys are unable to remove the toxins from the body, it will cause damage to the kidneys, further impairing their function and poisoning the body. If the kidneys are damaged, one may have to undergo dialysis to filter the toxins from the body.
