Potassium is an important substance to treat uremia

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: in 1996, my best friend's mum died of uremia at the age of 45 or so; 6 years later my friend herself died of this disease too when she was only 26. my own mum died of this disease exactly 2 years ago and it seemed that her father also suffered from the same disease (and other diseases) before he died (he was 75 then). so is this dreadful disease hereditary? i've searched on the web via Google but some pages were not accessible; others were full of medical jargon that i never understand...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I researched it @ wikipedia.org and didn't see anything that says uremia is hereditary. This is what I did find....

Uremia is a toxic condition resulting from renal failure, when kidney function is compromised and urea, a waste product normally excreted in the urine, is retained in the blood. Uremia can lead to disturbances in the platelets and hypersomnia, among other effects.
