Uremic coma (c. uraemica) is a complication of chronic renal failure, which is manifested by impaired consciousness, breathing and cardiovascular activity. Uremic coma can be caused by various reasons, such as infection, sepsis, decompensation of the cardiovascular system and others.
The cause of Uremic Coma is the accumulation of toxic metabolic products in the blood, such as urea and creatinine. These substances cannot be eliminated from the body through the kidneys, which leads to their accumulation in the blood. In addition, when kidney function decreases, water and electrolytes are retained, which can also lead to disruption of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Symptoms of Uremic Coma may include lethargy, drowsiness, decreased blood pressure, tachycardia, respiratory failure, pale skin and other manifestations. If left untreated, Uremic Coma can be fatal.
To treat Uremic Coma, it is necessary to take measures to improve kidney function, as well as combat intoxication of the body. In some cases, hemodialysis or kidney transplantation may be required. It is also important to treat the underlying disease that led to the development of Uremic Coma.
Thus, Uremic Coma is a dangerous complication of chronic renal failure. Timely treatment can help prevent the development of this condition and save the patient's life.
