Relating to or characterized by azotaemia; having elevated nitrogen-containing waste products in the blood.
From 'azotaemia' (nitrogen in blood) + '-ic' (adjective suffix), created in medical terminology to describe the pathological state and its associated conditions.
An azotemic patient shows the classic signs of kidney failure—nausea, fatigue, and confusion—because urea and other nitrogen wastes literally poison the nervous system, which is why dialysis works by filtering these specific compounds.
