A member asked:
How does chronic kidney disease affect the renal system and organs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal equals kidney: The kidney is the basic engine of the renal system. It is what processes the wastes and corrects the chemicals in the body. The remainder of the renal or genitourinary system is the plumbing that allows the liquid wastes of the body to be eliminated.
