What system does the kidney disease affect
e-lub [12.9K]

The right answer is: it affects the excretory function of the organism.

Take the example of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Each minute, about 1 liter of blood is filtered by the kidney (1/5 of the amount pumped by the heart). Chronic kidney disease (or chronic renal failure) is a serious condition that causes a gradual and irreversible deterioration of the kidneys' ability to filter blood and excrete certain hormones. The excess of water and the waste metabolism products pass less into the urine and accumulate in the body.

Explain why the overprescription of antibiotics by doctors, or the overuse of everyday soaps containing antibiotics, can be a he
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

This is antibiotic resistance. It occurs with over use of antibiotics.

When antibiotics are over used, likely targeted bacteria are being   killed constantly even in absence of an infection. However,  few  bacteria may resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure) , and therefore survived. If these resistant bacteria who were able to survive the selective pressure  reproduce, they pass the resistant trait/ gene into their offspring.

Therefore with continuous exposure to antibiotics, they will  resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure),and thus reducing the effectiveness  of antibiotic treatments  with subsequent application.
