Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Uremic frost is a classic manifestation of chronic renal failure; it is rarely seen today. It develops because of accumulation of urea in sweat. In advanced uremia, the accumulation may reach such a critical level that, upon its evaporation, a fine white powder is left on the skin surface. Associated hyperkalemia may also be present owing to concurrent renal failure.
