abnormally high levels of waste products such as urea in the blood
Disease of urea build-up caused by dysfunction of the kidneys.
Urine poisoning when the body cannot get rid of its waste products. End stage of nephropathy.
Presence in blood of excessive amounts of protein metabolism byproducts, such as urea. Results in a toxic condition (as occurs in kidney failure) characterized by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, convulsions and coma.
The condition where a person gets sick from wastes building up in the blood. Someone who has uremia may experience nausea, weight loss, high blood pressure, and/or trouble sleeping.
A toxic, potentially fatal condition caused by an excessive buildup of nitrogenous wastes in the blood.
the retention of urine by the body and the presence of high levels of urine components in the blood.
The condition in which a person gets sick from wastes (toxins) that build up in the blood. Someone who has uremia may experience nausea, weakness, weight loss, memory problems, and/or trouble sleeping.
the accumulation of toxic levels of urea and other nitrogenous waste products in the blood
The Condition"...Treatment of uremia, which is directed at the underlying kidney disease, is usually with dialysis and renal transplantation..."
the presence of excessive amounts of urea and other waste products in the blood, as occurs in kidney
All the changes of the body's various organ systems that occur when kidney function fails.
A disease in which abnormal levels of urea accumulates in the blood. Also called azotemia (AZE-oh-TEE-me-ah).
accumulation in the blood of nitrogen-bearing waste products (urea) that are usually excreted in the urine
a toxic condition associated with renal insufficiency
AN = azotemia in foreign lit means often UREMIA & often BLOOD UREA NITROGEN UI = D014511
Condition caused by build-up of waste products in the blood.
Buildup of waste products in the blood due to the inability of the kidneys to excrete them.
A toxic condition that results from wastes such as urea and creatinine accumulating in the blood.
A condition of excess urea and other nitrogenous waste in the blood
An abnormal condition resulting from the accumulation in the blood of waste products that should normally be eliminated in the urine. Nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) is a frequent cause of uremia.
Abnormally elevated levels of urea and other nitrogenous waste products in the blood.
A condition of excess toxins or impurities in the blood. Symptoms include weakness, lack of energy, poor appetite, weight loss, metallic or ammonia taste in the mouth, skin color changes, and worsening memory. URR Urea Reduction Ratio. Like Kt/V, URR is a way to measure dialysis adequacy. It is based on a ratio of the predialysis BUN level to the postdialysis BUN level. (See BUN). Patients can calculate their URR themselves using a formula contained in the AAKP Advisory: Inadequate Hemodialysis Increases the Risk of Premature Death, listed in the Resources section at the back of this booklet. The URR value should be 65% or higher.
The accumulation of waste products in the blood that occurs when the kidneys start to fail.V
An abnormal condition caused by impaired kidney function; characterized by the retention of wastes and the disruption of many other organ systems.
Condition characterized by excessive urea and other nitrogen compounds in the blood due to renal insufficiency.
Uremia is a toxic condition resulting from renal failure, when kidney function is compromised and urea, a waste product normally excreted in the urine, is retained in the blood. Uremia can lead to disturbances in the platelets and hypersomnia, among other effects.
