WHAT DOES URAEMIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Uremia

Uremia or uraemia is the illness accompanying kidney failure, in particular the nitrogenous waste products associated with the failure of this organ. In kidney failure, urea and other waste products, which are normally excreted into the urine, are retained in the blood. Early symptoms include anorexia and lethargy, and late symptoms can include decreased mental acuity and coma. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cold, bone pain, itch, shortness of breath, and seizures. It is usually diagnosed in kidney dialysis patients when the glomerular filtration rate, a measure of kidney function, is below 50% of normal. Uremia can also result in uremic pericarditis. There are many dysfunctions caused by uremia affecting many systems of the body, such as blood, sex, and bones. Uremia can also cause decreased peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, producing a functionally hypothyroid state. Azotemia is another word that refers to high levels of urea, but is used primarily when the abnormality can be measured chemically but is not yet so severe as to produce symptoms. Uremia is the pathological manifestations of severe azotemia.
