  • Nephrotic Syndrome in Adults: Low levels of albumin in the blood. 
  • Pain Medicines and the Kidneys: can possibly damage the kidneys.
 

Ways kidneys maintain homeostasis:

The kidneys remove waste products from metabolism such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine by producing and secreting urine. Urine may also contain sulfate and phenol waste and excess sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. The kidneys help maintain homeostasis by regulating the concentration and volume of body fluids.
