AZOTEMIA

Azotemia refers to an elevation of blood urea, nitrogen and creatinine levels and is largely related to reduced GFR. It is without clinical manifestations but can be seen in biochemical index.

Its progression to clinical manifestations and systemic biochemical abnormalities is termed UREMIA.  Uremia is not characterized by failure of renal excretory functions only but also by a host of metabolic and endocrine alterations incident to renal failure. There are also secondary manifestations like uremic gastroenteritis, pheripheral neuropathy and cardiovascular involvements ( uremic pericarditis).

Azotemia can be classified by its pathological relation to the kidney as
1. Pre-renal: it include any extra renal disease that reduces perfussion of the kidneys and reduce GFR.
2. Renal: includes diseases of the kidney and occurs in Nephritic syndrome, renal failure
3.Post-renal: occurs as a result of obstruction to urine flow.

FATIGUED at end of school year?

Its a privilege  to make out time to write again. I am so sorry i have been missing in action for a while.
Well today, i will be expressing my view on fatigue.

Its ending of school session around the world and we as students are all eager to finish school year and start our vacation. As it seems, due to this reason, quite a couple of us are just in school in body but our mind is off school. I wonder if its nostalgic feelings about having 2 months of our own timetable or .......
Well i really can't say what the reason for this is as we struggle to read and pass our exams in time.
On my end, i have discovered many are in a state of  FATIGUE. 
Fatigue could be physical or mental.

Tiredness is a psychological state of being. It is a transient decrease in maximal cognitive performance resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity. It can manifest as somnolence or lethargy. It is also being regarded as mental fatigue and can't be clinically measured.

Whereas, physically fatigue people can be clinically observed and treated with rest and other beneficial therapies. This form of fatigue can be measured as body fluid indexes could show changes. sleep deprivation in these end period alongside with continuous studying and reduced eating could cause this and note its just for a while because its reversible.

So friends, i indulge you all to finish the race in time. Put in more efforts, don't relent, keep pushing and remember the G- factor for with God alone is success possible.

                                                                                                                                            PEACE
