Extrarenal uraemia - what does this mean
Extrarenal uraemia is a condition caused by the build-up of waste products in the blood due to a failure of the kidneys to filter them out. it is caused by an underlying kidney disease or other medical conditions that prevent the kidneys from performing their normal function of filtering out waste products.
What happens during the disease - extrarenal uraemia
Extrarenal uraemia is a condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood, resulting in the accumulation of substances such as urea and creatinine in the bloodstream. this is usually caused by decreased blood flow to the kidneys, resulting in decreased filtration, or by damage to the renal tubules or glomeruli, which are responsible for the reabsorption of water and electrolytes. as a result, toxins accumulate in the bloodstream, leading to a range of symptoms including fatigue, nausea, confusion, and anemia.
