Acute Renal Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease

Will is a 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension. Eight months ago, he started regular dialysis therapy for ESRD. Before that, his physician was closely monitoring his condition because he had polyuria and nocturia. Soon it became difficult to manage his hypertension. He also lost his appetite, became weak, easily fatigued, and had edema around his ankles. Will debated with his physician about starting dialysis, but she insisted, before the signs and symptoms of uremia increased, the treatment was absolutely necessary.

Difference between Azotemia and Uremia
Azotemia is a medical condition. It is characterized by the blood having very high levels
of nitrogen or nitrogen-containing compounds. These nitrogen-containing compounds are such
as creatinine, body-waste compounds, urea, and nitrogen-rich compounds. The condition is as a
result of kidney dysfunctional or insufficient filtering of these compounds from the blood by the
kidneys.
On the other hand, uremia is a medical condition that is characterized by having urea in
the blood. Also referred to as the Uremic Syndrome, its presence is a sign of liver failure, also
known as renal failure.
The main difference between the two medical conditions is found in the systematic
development of kidney failure. Azotemia is regarded as being the mild condition of uremia. A
person with possible renal failure is likely to be diagnosed...
