9. Prognosis

If an acute issue such as a treatable mechanical or medical problem causes uremia, then the condition is reversible. However, if uremia is a result of chronic and irreversible kidney disease, then the prognosis depends on how severe the disease is. Many people with kidney disease have a good prognosis if they're able to get a kidney transplant. The prognosis is less positive for those for whom a transplant is not possible.
