Uraemia
Dr Abbott on...
Uraemias
Usually due to retained urinary toxins due to kidney insufficiency, liver dysfunction and general metabolic perversion. The kidneys are not always involved but more than half of all cases have infarcts, congestion, oedema, or even nephritis. The liver is almost always disordered. The problems is often due to deficient changing of ammonia into urea in the liver NOT to deficient urea excretion.
