Coma
Uremia is usually a consequence of kidney failure, and its symptoms and signs usually occur simultaneously with other signs and symptoms of the disease. Without intervention, uremia because of kidney failure may result in unconsciousness, coma or even death.5Zemaitis, Michael R. ‘Uremia.’ StatPearls /[Internet/]., U.S. National Library of Medicine, 16 Aug. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441859/
A person in a coma is unresponsive and cannot be woken. Although limbs don't move in response to signals from the brain, it's not unusual to see slight reactions due to reflexes.
