toxic waste metabolite of urine like urea, creatinine etc. in

urine may be a sequelee of severe dehydration leading to
oliguria followed by anuria or due to the nephritis in a

associated with pyometra also. In the present study the elevated
levels of urea and creatinine were alarmingly elevated and was
life threatening also. However the timely diagnosis & surgical
