	uremia. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Uremia can be caused by NSAIDs (nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs), especially in older patients treated primarily with ibuprofen for arthritis.
		Some of the early signs of uremia are lethargy, mental depression, loss of appetite, and edema; later symptoms include diarrhea, anemia, convulsions, coma, and a gray-brown coloration.
		Treatment of uremia, which is directed at the underlying kidney disease, is usually with dialysis and renal transplantation.

	Uremia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Human Pathology Digital Image Gallery - Burr Cell Uremia
		Uremia is a condition in which urea and other nitrogenous substances accumulate to an abnormally high level in the blood.
		Symptoms of uremia often initially include fatigue, loss of appetite, edema, excessive thirst, and decreased concentration, and progression of the condition may lead to a rapid pulse, anemia, diarrhea, convulsions, discoloration of the skin, coma, and even death.
		Uremia is characteristically related to the inability of the kidneys to expel wastes via urine, but the underlying cause responsible for the limited function of the important organs can vary greatly.

	eMedicine - Uremia : Article by A Brent Alper, Jr, MD, MPH
		Background: Uremia is a clinical syndrome associated with fluid, electrolyte, and hormone imbalances and metabolic abnormalities, which develop in parallel with deterioration of renal function.
		In the setting of uremia, performing a renal biopsy in a patient with small kidneys may be dangerous because of comorbid disease and the increased risk of bleeding.
		The prognosis for patients with uremia of CRF is poor unless the uremia is treated with renal replacement therapy such as dialysis or transplantation.

		Uremia (Azotemia) is a term applied to the manifestations of organ dysfunction seen in stages 3 and 4 as outlined above.
		The relationship between toxic substances and uremia is exemplified by urea.
		Deranged sodium transport in advanced uremia results in accumulation of sodium and chloride inside the cell, leading to accumulation of water and a fall in potassium concentration, with consequent defects in metabolic processes and a decline in heat production.

	Uremia. - Dr. Sayeed Ahmad
		Uremia most commonly develops when the kidneys fail to function properly.
		In some cases, however, uremia occurs when blood flow to the kidneys is reduced due to severe bleeding, serious burns, or heart attack, or when more wastes are formed in the bloodstream as a result of traumatic injuries or large surgical incisions than can be removed by the kidneys.
		Victims of uremia due to kidney failure undergo kidney dialysis, a medical procedure that removes wastes from the blood.

	What are the syptoms of uremic poisoning?
		Nonetheless, the terms uremia or uremic poisoning have persisted, and now mean the symptoms that patients feel when they have kidney failure.
		Uremia can cause inflammation of the heart muscle or the lining around the heart, leading to palpitations or shortness of breath with congestive heart failure.
		Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) is accelerated in patients with uremia, leading to enlargement of the heart, and blockages of the arteries feeding the heart, predisposing patients to chest pain and heart attacks.

		Uremia is a condition which is characterized by the build up of poisonous wates in the blood, which was supposed to be eliminated by the body as urine.
		The symptoms of uremia are usually loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and a breath which smells like urine.
		If left unnoticed, uremia causes a person to become unconscious, a condition called uremic coma, which is most likely to lead to death.

		forcefully the importance of uremia as a primary cause of death in these patients; it was the primary cause of 34 (68 percent) of the deaths among patients with high azotemia and of 22 (73 percent) of the deaths among patients with anuria.
		Of the 35 patients in whom uremia was the primary cause of death, 15, or 43 percent, died in the first 5 days and 17, or 48.5 percent, in the second 5 days--more than 91 percent within 10 days after wounding.

	Calcitriol - Frequestly Ased Questions
		The inhibition by phosphorus is particularly powerful and important in uremia with a 1 mg/dl increase in serum phosphorus decreasing blood calcitriol by 8 pg/ml or about 1/4 of the total average amount (32 pg/ml) normally present.
		Early in uremia lowering serum phosphorus raises calcitriol and Ca++ levels which then lower the previously elevated PTH---but due to the loss of high PTH stimulating calcitriol synthesis, the calcitriol and Ca++ levels return back to their original state.
		Some studies in experimentally produced uremia in partially nephrectomized dogs with prior control of serum phosphorus, used a dose of 2.2 ng/kg which was not uniformly effective in lowering PTH.

	End-Stage Renal Disease
		The myriad clinical features that accompany renal failure are referred to by the word "uremia." They comprise a syndrome produced by cessation of the many excretory, physiologic and endocrine functions of the kidneys.
		In common usage, the word "uremia" is more or less synonymous with the phrase "end stage renal disease" in the same way the word "decompensation" is synonymous with "congestive heart failure." Uremia is accompanied with some or all of the following signs and/or symptoms.
		In uremia, urine output decreases: the production of urine is decreased (oliguria) or stopped altogether (anuria): In uremia, proteins and blood appear in the urine: examination of urine from a uremic patient usually reveals the presence of materials that are not present in normal urine -- proteins (proteinuria) and red blood cells (hematuria).

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 17, Ch. 222, Renal Failure
		A patient with mild to moderate renal insufficiency may have only vague symptoms despite elevated BUN and creatinine; nocturia is noted, principally due to a failure to concentrate the urine during the night.
		Lassitude, fatigue, and decreased mental acuity often are the first manifestations of uremia.
		If uremia results from a progressive and untreatable disorder, conservative management is palliative until dialysis or transplantation is required.

		The artificial kidney was not used in 20 patients for a variety of reasons, such as relative mildness of the uremia, or early death from the complications of the attending wounds.
		On a number of occasions the rapid progression of uremia was blunted by the discovery and drainage of an abscess or amputation of a mangled extremity.
		The striking feature of these patients with post-traumatic renal insufficiency was the rapidity with which chemical and clinical uremia and potassium intoxication developed, reflecting the marked catabolic response to injury, infection, and the presence of ischemic or devitalized tissue.
