Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the function of the kidney. The kidneys are responsible for filtering blood, removing waste, and balancing fluids and electrolytes in the body.
Step 2: Identify the body system that includes the kidneys. The kidneys are part of the urinary system, which also includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Step 3: Recognize that kidney disease affects the organs responsible for urine production and waste elimination, which are components of the urinary system.
Step 4: Differentiate the urinary system from other systems listed: the integumentary system (skin), digestive system (stomach, intestines), and respiratory system (lungs). None of these systems include the kidneys.
Step 5: Conclude that kidney disease originates in the urinary system because it directly involves the kidneys and their function.
