Aman was feeling short of breath, weak and pain in abdomen since few days. He told this to his friend Rohit, who took him to a doctor. After all check-ups the doctor deduced that his left kidney is not working properly, i.e. not filtering the blood in a proper way due to which the nitrogenous wastes are accumulating or building up in the body and right one is fully damaged. Doctor advised him to go for kidney transplantation.
Hearing this, Rohit decided to donate a kidney to his friend so that he can survive normally, but after all the check-ups, doctor refused for the transplantation.
Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
(i) Write the causes of kidney failure.
(ii) What values were shown by Rohit?
