What is uremic sepsis?

Urogenic sepsis refers to a syndrome of systemic inflammatory response caused by a urinary tract infection. When a patient has a more serious urinary tract infection, the pathogenic bacteria may invade the blood system through blood vessels, thus causing a systemic inflammatory response, which is called urogenic sepsis. Patients usually have high fever, chills, headache, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, weakness, and pain in many muscles and joints throughout the body. When the condition is serious, it may cause dysfunction of multiple organs, often accompanied by hypotension, lactic acidosis, oliguria, acute altered state of consciousness, and even septic shock. Therefore, when suffering from urinary tract infections, it is important to seek timely medical treatment for standardized treatment to avoid serious symptoms of infection, which may pose a threat to life.
