The difference between uremia and renal failure is that renal failure is a pathological state of partial or total loss of kidney function, while uremia is a manifestation of advanced renal failure.
Renal failure is a syndrome in which the glomerular filtration rate is reduced, resulting in the accumulation of metabolites in the body, the imbalance of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, and the damage of various organs in the body. According to the speed of onset of the disease can be divided into acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. Generally, after acute renal failure passes through the acute stage, as well as the early stage of chronic renal failure, renal replacement therapy may not be performed.
Uremia is a syndrome consisting of a series of clinical manifestations in which renal failure enters its terminal phase. At this time, patients have severe water electrolyte disorders, metabolic acidosis, circulatory overload, bone disease, endocrine disorders, nausea and vomiting, central nervous system dysfunction, itchy skin and other symptoms, need to carry out renal replacement therapy, such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and so on.
When uremia or renal failure occurs, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, so as not to delay the condition and cause adverse effects.
