-[[Renal failure]] if not managed adequately can lead to [[pericardial effusion]] and [[pericarditis]], also known as uremic pericarditis. This is due to build up of metabolic toxins such as [[urea]], [[creatinine]], methylguanidine which cause inflammation of pericardium. With the introduction of [[dialysis]], the incidence of uremic pericarditis has been considerably lowered<ref name="pmid5673609">{{cite journal| author=Bailey GL, Hampers CL, Hager EB, Merrill JP| title=Uremic pericarditis.

+==[[Uremic pericarditis overview|Overview]]==
-The pathophysiology of uremic pericarditis is not fully understood. However, there is a correlation observed with levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. In [[renal failure]], the absence or inadequate [[dialysis]] can lead to accumulation of these toxins in the body which may cause inflammation of pericardium.
