Solution

Excretory System:

  1. In humans, the excretory system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra.
  2. Kidney dysfunction can lead to a wide range of excretory system issues.

The excretory system disorders are:

Uremia:

The presence of an excessive amount of urea in the blood is what causes it. Urea is extremely dangerous since it poisons cells at high concentrations and can cause kidney failure.

Failure of the kidneys or renal failure:

Renal or kidney failure is defined as the partial or total inability of the kidneys to perform excretory and salt-water regulating activities.

Renal calculi or kidney stones:

Within the kidney, it is the production of a stone or an intractable mass of crystallized salts (calcium, magnesium, phosphates, oxalates, etc.).
