Confusion
Uremia, otherwise known as uremic syndrome, may affect any part of the body, causing physical symptoms, such as vomiting and pain. It may also affect mental status. For example, people with uremia may find it difficult to concentrate. As a result, they may become agitated and confused.
Individuals may lack the ability to think as clearly or quickly as they normally do. The confusion they experience may cause them to feel disoriented, and they may have difficulty paying attention or making decisions.
