Urea and blood urea nitrogen levels in pediatric and adult patients with uremic stomatitis: a systematic review

Key takeaways

Researchers gathered the published reports on uremic stomatitis, the painful mouth sores that can appear when the kidneys fail. They looked at how high urea and blood urea nitrogen, waste products the kidneys normally clear, were in children and adults with these sores. Because it pools earlier observations, it shows a link between high waste levels and mouth sores, not proof that the waste causes them. The record we received carried no abstract, so the number of patients included is not available here.
