Nah, there is nothing in piss that a normal healthy person cannot handle. To be honest, its a damn sight healthier than a great deal of what people put in their bodies.
For a good example, Mountain Dew. Two words: brominated hydrocarbons. (Google that only if you are not someone who would be really emotionally distraught if you could never do the dew again.)
Yet another example, the steak you flash grill so it's still pink on the inside but has that nice just-charred exterior: Carcinogen city.
For that matter the aspirin/motrin/alleve you take for your headache is a lot more likely to make you sick or bump you off.
In comparison, lets look at urine (by content, descending order): water, urea, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, phosphates, amino acids, uric acid, organic and inorganic salts, urobilin, a few random hormones and enzymes. The italicized things you need in your daily intake. The rest won't hurt you unless you are a dialysis or congestive heart failure patient. Of course this is why dialysis and CHF patients are on such a restricted diet. But just like a whole bag of doritos will not bump you off whereas it might a CHF patient, taking some pee up the arse is not a problem for a healthy person.
Fortunately our bodies are a marvel of a decontamination center. As long as you don't overdo it, you can detoxify most of the shit we ingest on a daily basis. And in comparison to some of the stuff we put in our bodies, urine looks like Evian. Now, piss isn't exactly World Health Organization Oral Rehydration Solution, but its hardly anything to worry about for a healthy person.
Oh, and if it goes in and stays in, you absorb it regardless of which 'cheek' it passes. However, fluid and electrolyte absorption happens faster in the colon (though its not going to digest things like the upper GI tract.) And given that generally you end up voiding part of the enema, you'd probably end up absorbing more of the stuff in urine if you drank it.
