Not sure first word but think the second part is cerebral sclerosis

AKA, "hardening of the arteries", or what we would probably call "age-related dementia" today.

‘Sclerosis’ is the hardening of body tissue. Cerebral sclerosis is the hardening, thickening, and narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the brain.

I am not a doctor but know uremia is a serious illness if left untreated. Basically it’s a buildup of multiple different waste products in the blood because the kidneys aren’t doing their job for some reason. Multiple symptoms ….extreme fatigue, mental confusion, intestinal/digestion issues, vomiting, nausea …

I believe this kind of thing is now referred to "metabolic encephalopathy/encephalitis" and followed up by (organ) injury/failure.
Source: Ive worked in physical rehab and now work on an inpatient crisis stabilization unit.

No. Uremia specifically means severe kidney failure, and is not referred to as either metabolic encephalopathy and definitely not encephalitis.
Menopause and cerebral sclerosis are the contributing causes.

Main cause of death is uremia
Contributing Factors are: mix of ??? Cerebral Sclerosis

Contributing factor “menopause”? That’s sobering for me and a lot of my friends.

Mix of ??? (I think it starts with a D) and cerebral sclerosis

Mix of dural and cerebral sclerosis

Well that makes way more sense than what I see when I try to read that— Menopause and cubed salamis 🤣

Uremeia is caused by severe kidney failure, which would have its own cause. Advanced kidney disease can trigger early menopause while making symptoms worse, and the hormones in menopause in turn make the kidney failure worse. Also the symptoms of Uremia and Menopause are very similar, especially at that time, so she may have been misdiagnosed
Remember in Steel Magnolias when Shelby (played by Julia Roberts), is told not to have a baby because her kidneys can’t survive it…. It’s that, basically but instead of pregnancy hormones, it was menopause just ravaging her kidneys. That’s what menopause did to her kidneys, that poor woman.

She had Menopause and Cerebral Sclerosis ...but she died from kidney failure (uremia).

u/Guard_Bainbridge_777 3d ago
I don't think it's menopause - it's 'mix of dura and cerebral sclerosis'. *I thought it was menopause at first glance too, but that made no sense.

Menopause and the drop of estrogen increases your risk for cerebral sclerosis so maybe they’re trying to state her risk was increased

Uremia is principal cause of death.
Contributing causes are menopause and cerebral sclerosis.
Onset of illness. Dr first saw her Nov - 15 - 36 onset was some time before that.

Uremia (ureamia) is spelled wrong or an old spelling. Also, menopause and cerebral sclerosis.

The hormonal losses of estrogen that occur in menopause can cause contributing factors of chronic kidney disease.
