Answer:

Excretory system (Kidney)

The scenario that leads to this question is not correct, however, the question in itself has an answer as stated above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kidney is an organ that removes waste and excess fluid in the blood and passes these wastes to the bladder.

If the kidney fails, dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure (not a diabetes treatment as stated in the question).

Dialysis is performed by using a machine to purify the blood.
