What Causes Uremia?

Diabetes

In addition to a plethora of other health complications, diabetes has been shown to cause uremia, especially in patients who have had the disease for a long time. Typically, in patients who have not yet reached progressive kidney disease or failure, physicians will recommend taking control of the underlying problem to improve or eliminate uremia. Diabetes is a disease that affects the body's ability to respond to or produce insulin, a critical hormone used in the processing and metabolism of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Glucose intolerance and the system's weakened ability to metabolize and process it properly has been well-documented in patients suffering from uremia.
