Uremia is a dangerous medical condition that causes urea to accumulate in the blood. Urea is the waste that the kidneys usually help to filter away.
Uremia is a symptom of kidney failure. When the kidneys cannot filter waste properly, it can enter the bloodstream.
Uremia translates into "urine in the blood."

The kidneys act as the body's filters, getting rid of waste and potentially dangerous substances that pass through. When the kidneys do not work well, waste products can back up into the blood.

Uremia is a side effect of kidney failure, so treating the condition requires treating the kidneys.

People suffering from uremia usually have proteins, creatine, and other substances in their blood. This contamination can affect almost every system of the body.

Most people with uremia experience symptoms. However, people with chronic kidney disease, which is the main risk factor for uremia, may not experience symptoms until the disease has significantly progressed.

SYMPTOMS:-
The symptoms of uremia are similar to those of chronic kidney disease. This similarity means that people with kidney disease who develop kidney failure may not realize they have uremia.

People with kidney disease must undergo regular blood work and urinalysis to ensure their kidneys are working well.

It is important to note that symptoms vary between individuals and can change, first showing improvement and then deteriorating again.

Kidney disease is a life-threatening condition, so people who suspect they have either kidney disease or uremia should see a doctor promptly. Some symptoms to watch for include:

A cluster of symptoms called uremic neuropathy or nerve damage due to kidney failure. Neuropathy can cause tingling, numbness, or electrical sensations in the body, particularly the hands and feet.

Weakness, exhaustion, and confusion. These symptoms tend to get worse over time and do not go away with rest or improved nutrition.

Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Some people may lose weight because of these problems.

Changes in blood tests. Often, the first sign of uremia is urea's presence in the blood during routine blood testing.

People with uremia may also show signs of metabolic acidosis where the body produces too much acid.
High blood pressure.

Swelling, particularly around the feet and ankles.

Dry, itchy skin.

More frequent urination, as the kidneys work harder to get rid of waste.
