Detailed explanation-1: -The liver produces several chemicals (enzymes) that change ammonia into a form called urea, which the body can remove in the urine. If this process is disturbed, ammonia levels begin to rise. Several inherited conditions can cause problems with this waste-removal process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urea is a nitrogenous waste produced as a by-product of the metabolism of proteins. This process takes place in the liver. It does not occur in the kidney.
Detailed explanation-3: -The liver converts the amino acids present in the blood into ammonia and pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid gets oxidized to release energy, and ammonia gets converted into urea. The kidney helps in the filtration of the urea, and urea gets excreted in the form of urine.
