Discharge or elimination of an absorbed or endogenous substance, or of a waste product, and/or their metabolites, through some tissue of the body and its appearance in urine, faeces, or other products normally leaving the body. Excretion of chemical compounds from the body occurs mainly through the kidney and the gut. Volatile compounds may be largely eliminated by exhalation. Excretion by perspiration and through hair and nails may also occur. Excretion by the gastrointestinal tract may take place by various routes such as the bile, the shedding of intestinal cells and transport through the intestinal mucosa After WHO, 1989a RT clearance, elimination

the elimination of wastes from blood or tissues.
The act or process of discharging waste matter from the tissues or organs.
the removal of waste products from the body.
This refers to the elimination of harmful and unwanted products of metabolism.
