THe kidneys are responsible for filtering toxins out of the blood and removing them from the body wile keeping the good stuff in. This is why docs get so worked up about output, quality, and contents of urine (they aren't just crazy)
So kidney problems affect the entire body because it lets poision stay in the blood.
Dialysis is kind of an artifical kidney becasue it does these jobs for the kidney.
