Is bilateral kidney failure uremia?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my husband's mental state has been very bad recently. Upon careful examination, it was found that he has bilateral kidney failure. Hello, is bilateral kidney failure the same as uremia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, uremia and kidney failure are not necessarily synonymous. Generally, kidney failure is divided into different stages, and the most severe stage is called uremia. Therefore, if you experience kidney failure again, you must actively seek treatment. In the early stages, some intestinal detoxification drugs may be used. If uremia occurs, dialysis is required.
