Overview
Azotemia is neither a disease entity nor a clinical syndrome. It is a laboratory finding defined as an elevation in the concentration of nitrogenous waste products in the blood. Azotemia may suggest either kidney or non-kidney diseases. Azotemia is generally caused by either an increased synthesis of nitrogenous waste products (liver injury or skeletal muscle injury) or a reduced loss of nitrogenous waste products (acute or chronic kidney injuries).
