Medically, we consume and make toxins everyday, within our bodies. The kidney's function is to clean your blood of these toxins. Damaged kidney would mean that you would be intoxicated. Toxins such as urea, which is supposed to be processed into urine, can stay in your body, making your skin look yellow.
