Uremia is not an infectious disease and is not contagious.
Uremia is the final outcome of the continuous progression of various chronic kidney diseases. Patients with uremia have severely impaired glomerular filtration and reabsorption functions, and metabolic wastes and toxins can not be eliminated from the body, which will result in nausea, vomiting, taste of urine in the mouth, edema, cardiac failure, shortness of breath, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and renal anemia.
Patients with uremia are not contagious and require prompt renal replacement therapy, specifically hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. Patients who are to undergo hemodialysis should establish vascular access as early as possible.
Patients with uremia should go to the hospital in time for early treatment under the guidance of specialized physicians.
