Most of them are trade in kidneys‚ because humans can live normally with one kidney and the sellers are poor‚ even there are some Chinese youths sell their kidney to buy the new iPad (Campbell & Davidson‚ 2012). This unethical issue can be reduced by compulsory organ donation that more people can transplant organs from donors and it makes

This process of removal of waste products in a healthy person is facilitated by kidneys. People that is diagnosed with kidney failure experiences problems with waste removal this is where dialysis comes into place. People with renal failure and are in the process of dialysis have been known to have several homeostatic imbalances. One of the major effects
