How will other body systems be affected if the kidneys begin to shut down? Explain your answer.

When your kidneys fail harmful wastes and fluids can build up in your body. Blood pressure may rise and you may not be able to make enough red blood cells.

My mother had her kidneys shut down and basically all of her body was shutting down. So your kidneys and stomach and then soon your heart and brain and lungs. (she didn't die)

When the kidneys begin to shut down, waste accumulates in the bloodstream, fluid balance is disrupted, and electrolyte imbalances arise, leading to conditions such as edema, anemia, and potential heart issues. This systemic failure can profoundly affect overall health and homeostasis. Immediate medical attention is required to manage these consequences effectively.
