Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery and leaves through the renal vein after the process of filtration and waste removal.
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 process is called hemodialysis. Blood is filtered through a machine that acts as an artificial kidney, removing waste products and excess fluids. The purified blood is then returned to the body.
Hemodialaysis
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 lowest blood concentration of nitrogenous waste occurs in the renal vein, which carries filtered blood away from the kidney after waste products have been removed through the process of filtration and reabsorption in the kidney nephrons.
Filtration
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.
Removal by filtration of waste products from the blood produces urine for excretion.
Glomerulus

The filtration of blood in the kidney occurs in the glomerulus, a network of tiny blood vessels located within the nephron. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole, where high pressure forces water, electrolytes, and small molecules through the glomerular filtration membrane into the Bowman's capsule, forming the initial filtrate. This process is crucial for regulating blood composition and removing waste products.

The kidney is the organ that filters waste from the blood. Millions of tiny structures called nephrons in the kidneys help in the filtration process by removing waste and excess substances from the blood to form urine.

what do capillaries have inside
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.
