Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and producing urine. If they are diseased or damaged, as in this case, they may not function properly and require dialysis as a substitute. The other organs listed do not have a direct role in removing metabolic waste products from the blood. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and producing urine. In Perry's case, his kidneys are not functioning properly, leading to a buildup of waste products in his bloodstream. Dialysis treatments are necessary to artificially filter these waste products from his blood.
