Which toxic condition is caused by excessive ureain the bloodstream?

The toxic condition caused by excessive urea in the bloodstream is called uremia. Urea is a waste product that is produced when the body breaks down proteins. It is normally excreted by the kidneys in urine. However, if the kidneys are damaged or unable to function properly, urea can build up in the bloodstream, leading to uremia.

Symptoms of uremia include:

* Fatigue

* Weakness

* Nausea and vomiting

* Diarrhea

* Confusion

* Seizures

* Coma

Left untreated, uremia can be fatal. Treatment typically involves dialysis, a process that helps remove urea and other waste products from the blood.
