Azotemia (Avotemia)

Azotemia is a medical term that was previously used to refer to the condition now known as uremia. Uremia is a syndrome that occurs when the kidneys fail to effectively remove waste produced by the body.

One such waste product is a nitrogenous metabolite called creatinine. When creatinine levels in the blood become too high, it may indicate the presence of uremia. Other possible signs of uremia include swelling, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, drowsiness, cramps and pain in the kidney area.

Uremia can be caused by various kidney diseases, including chronic renal failure, urinary tract obstruction, infections and others. Treatment for uremia may include dialysis, which helps clear the blood of excess nitrogen and other waste products, and medications to improve kidney function.

Although the term "azotemia" is no longer used in medical practice, it still appears in the literature and history of medicine. It is important to remember that uremia is a serious condition that requires medical intervention and constant monitoring. If you suspect uremia, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Azotemia or avotaemia is a syndrome that occurs as a result of metabolic disorders in the human body. It is caused by the accumulation of nitrogenous compounds in the blood and tissues of the body. As a result, loss of nitrogen may occur in the urine, which leads to poisoning of the body. Azotomy occurs in case of poisoning, kidney disease, which leads to insufficiency of the functions of this organ, as well as a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood.

Definition AVOTAEMIA is a collective term that combines several diseases associated with circulatory disorders, hemorrhages and the accumulation of nitrogenous compounds in tissues. Today there are four names for this term:

1. AVM - arteriovenous fistula 2. AVF - atriovenous shunt. 3. AFLAVS - (A - A, LAVS, L - LAVS) 4. Uremia - “blood thickening disease”, chronic uremia (CKD), “chronic ball nephritis” (CBN) in common parlance.

Symptoms indicating the presence of the disease are: frequent fatigue, chills, depression, dizziness, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, increased volume of urine, dark urine, severe thirst, urinary retention. In some cases, symptoms may be minor and may not cause concern for people. When the kidneys cannot effectively remove nitrogenous compounds from a person's blood, they begin to accumulate in the kidneys, spleen, liver, stomach and other human organs. Often accumulated nitrogen leads to pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, increased body temperature, anemia, and a red rash on the skin.

Treatment for azotemia may include changes in diet and medications, hemodialysis, or kidney transplantation. However, these methods may have side effects and limitations, and are not always effective in lowering blood nitrogen levels. It is important to consult a nephrologist to make a diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan based on the individual characteristics and health of the patient.
