Azotemia is defined as an excess level of nitrogen-based substances compounds such as urea, creatinine, and other body waste compounds in the blood. Azotemia is defined as an excess level of nitrogen-based substances compounds such as urea, creatinine, and other body waste compounds in the blood. Azotemia in dogs is a buildup of nitrogen-based substances, including waste like urea, creatinine, old cells, and food in the bloodstream. This can happen because of reabsorption of urine into the bloodstream, abnormally high production of nitrogenous substances due to a high protein diet or gastrointestinal bleeding, or other conditions, but it is most commonly caused by improper filtration in the kidneys. The prognosis for dogs with azotemia depends on the cause of the condition and how far it has progressed, especially if there is kidney damage. If you see the signs of azotemia in your dog, consult your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment, as the condition can become life-threatening. Here is what you should know about the symptoms, causes, and treatments for azotemia in dogs.
