Uremia, which means there is urea (a main component of urine) in the blood, is a symptom indicating kidney disease or kidney failure. Normally, the kidneys filter what the body consumes as it passes through, but when they aren't working as well, waste and potentially dangerous substances end up back in the blood. Because uremia occurs as a result of kidney failure, affected individuals need to treat the kidneys to treat the condition effectively. Patients who suffer from uremia generally test positive for creatine, proteins, and other substances directly in the blood.
