Liver and kidneys have to filter and sort various chemicals to keep them from poisoning your body.

Also, dialysis is a thing, it's just generally external cause of the complexity.

Artificial kidneys are in the test phases. Not sure when they’ll enter trials but it’s very complicated.

I just learned this last week that when someone gets a kidney transplant, doctors don't remove the old one, they just shove it aside and patch the new one in...and honestly, that's kind of fucking me up.
