n.名词 noun

Pathology.
- : a condition resulting from the retention in the blood of constituents normally excreted in the urine.

Uremia is the most dreaded symptom and develops as a result of the retained toxins in the blood.
This may go on to a fatal attack of uremia; but fortunately, not commonly, far less so than in scarlet fever.
In fact, there are some who advise decompression for uremia.
The natural end of patients in this group is either uremia or cardiac decompensation (so-called cardiorenal disease).
