Uremia

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, 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. Uremia takes a long time to develop.

RC901

Cardiovascular disorders in hemodialysis and uremia are one of the most important aspects of modern nephrological care. This publication is dedicated to cardiovascular risk factors, the role of the endothelium, problems related to mineral disorders, and the possible impact of new technologies on the final outcome of hemodialysis. Ronco (nephrology, St. Bortolo Hospital, Italy) combines descriptions of the most advanced technologies in the field with an educational overview aimed at the newer generations of physicians and nurses in hemodialysis. He presents lessons learned from completed and ongoing trials, as well as material on dialysis principles and technology, dialysis schedules and techniques, vascular access management, dry weight assessment, and biological markers.
