Answer
poisoning by the accumulation of high quantities of urea in the body.
Reason — Due to vomiting and watery bowels, the intestine are unable to absorb water into the blood. Therefore, to maintain the osmotic pressure of blood kidneys reabsorb almost all the water along with urea. This further causes poisoning by the accumulation of high quantities of urea in the body.
