Answer 1

The toxic condition characterized by retention of nitrogenous substances in the blood is called uremia.  Uremia is a toxic condition caused by retention in the blood of nitrogenous waste products normally excreted in the urine.  Acute renal failure denotes a sudden onset of renal failure, such as that caused by an accident, certain drugs or poison. The kidneys may recover or the damage may be permanent. If the kidneys stop functioning this condition is what they called uremia, therefore the body is full of  extra water and waste products, leading to swelling in the hands or feet, fatigue and weakness. End-stage renal disease refers to when the kidneys have lost all or nearly all function.
