The term Homeostasis best describes the result of this process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis is the process that helps the kidney to regulate various levels of chemicals and ions in the body.

The kidney filters all the blood in the body for many times per day. This helps kidneys maintain homeostasis. Around 1.5 liters of urine are produced by kidneys each day. In that urine, the kidney controls the number of other substances and ion in water to be excreted in the urine.

Also, the kidney generates a hormone called erythropoietin that regulates the organ and maintains homeostasis.
