    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uremia

    Without intervention via dialysis or kidney transplant, uremia due to renal failure will progress and cause stupor, coma, and death. [2] Because uremia is mostly a consequence of kidney failure, its signs and symptoms often occur concomitantly with other signs and symptoms of kidney failure. [citation needed]

  7. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

    Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure.
