- Production azotemia - azotemia, which is caused by an increased breakdown of tissue proteins in the body with burns and wounds, extensive inflammation, blood diseases, cachexia and is observed even with a sufficiently preserved renal excretory function;
- Renal azotemia (azotaeimia renalis; synonym: renal azotemia) - azotemia associated with impaired renal excretory function;
