Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery and leaves through the renal vein after the process of filtration and waste removal.
Waste-laden blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches off from the aorta. Once inside the kidney, the blood enters a network of tiny blood vessels called glomeruli where filtration of waste products occurs.
The liver breaks down harmful substances as well as non-harmful products such as the deamination of proteins, but the metabolites are put back into the blood circulation. The kidneys then filter these metabolites and other substances out of the blood, returning "cleaned" blood back to the body and harmful substances excreted in water and ultimately urine.
The kidney is the only organ that has 2 sets of capillaries: the glomerulus and peritubular capillaries. This unique structure allows for the filtration of blood and the reabsorption of essential substances in the kidney.
Artificial blood filtration involves passing blood through a filter to remove impurities such as toxins, waste products, and excess fluid. The process helps in purifying the blood and maintaining its composition within normal ranges. Artificial blood filtration is commonly used in dialysis machines for patients with kidney failure.
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.

The cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood to form urine.
The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.
Glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle within the kidney, specifically in the glomerulus. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where blood is filtered to form urine through the filtration barrier.
Inadequate blood flow to the kidney, as with shock, can lead to a decrease in kidney filtration and, therefore, kidney failure.
The procedure of draining blood from the kidney is called a renal biopsy. It involves removing a small sample of kidney tissue for analysis and diagnosis.
Removal by filtration of waste products from the blood produces urine for excretion.
