Question

What might happen to a person if their kidneys were not functioning properly. Where would waste go?

Answer 1

The wastes would build up in your blood, and can cause serious damage. You can also have serious infections and pain if your kidney is not functioning properly.

Answer 2

If the kidneys don't work properly, waste substances build up in the blood and you lose your ability to control the levels of ions and water in your body. Eventually, this results in death.
