Uremia
or uraemia can be translated as “urea in the blood”. Urea is one of the primary components of urine. It can be defined as an excess of amino acid and protein metabolism end products, such as urea and creatinine, in the blood that would be normally excreted in the urine. The Uremic Syndrome can be defined as the terminal clinical manifestation of kidney failure (also called renal failure).
It is the signs, symptoms and results from laboratory tests which result from inadequate excretory, regulatory and endocrine function of the kidneys.
Both uremia and the uremic syndrome have been used interchangeably to define a very high plasma urea concentration that is the result of renal failure.

Stolen car plus hybris plus a brief car chase equals this: Two seriously injured, one fled the scene (got caught, tho). Thankfully, no one was killed.
This is my absolute favourite philosophy when dealing with patients/relatives at work!
