"Your patient is extremly overweight. They are experiencing the most common inherited disease related to this organ. This organ is not doing it's job and is causing uremia. This disease is prgressive and ultimatly fatal. Identify this disease and the organ it affects."

How about heart disease? You could check blood pressure?

Well because they're overweight it could be anything including the heart or pancreas (possible type II diabetes). However, I would say possible kidney disease because anything that has to do with urine problems usually has to do with the kidney. Kidney disease is usually inherited; heart problems and type II diabetes are too, but can be caused by being overweight.
Word of advice though, next time you ask a homework question on Y!A, either post it in the homework section, or if you put it in the health section don't mention it's a homework question :)
