UROsepsis / Allergies

Urosepsis is a term used to describe a type of sepsis that is caused by an infection in the urinary tract. It is a complication often caused by urinary tract infections that are not treated quickly or properly.

Urosepsis is a serious complication of a urinary tract infection (UTI) that requires immediate medical care to avoid a possible life-threatening event. Anyone experiencing the symptoms of urosepsis should seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms:

Because urosepsis is a complication of a UTI, most people with the condition are likely to have symptoms of a UTI already.

The most common UTIs are bladder infections, and symptoms include:

Some of the most common health problems in the elderly include:

  • frequent urges to urinate
  • a burning or itching sensation while urinating
  • feeling that the bladder is full, even after urinating
  • cloudy urine
  • blood in the urine
  • foul-smelling urine
  • pain during sex
  • pressure in the lower back or lower abdomen
  • malaise, or a feeling of being generally unwell

If the infection spreads beyond the bladder, it can reach the higher parts of the urinary system, such as the kidneys and ureters. When the infection reaches these areas, urosepsis is one possible complication.

In addition to UTI symptoms, people with urosepsis may also display more serious symptoms common to other forms of sepsis. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical care.

Symptoms of urosepsis include:

  • pain near the kidneys, on the lower sides of the back
  • nausea with or without vomiting
  • extreme fatigue
  • reduced urine volume or no urine
  • trouble breathing or rapid breathing
  • confusion or brain fog
  • unusual anxiety levels
  • changes in heart rate, such as palpitations or a rapid heartbeat
  • weak pulse
  • high fever or low body temperature
  • profuse sweating

In some serious cases, urosepsis may progress to severe sepsis, septic shock, or multi-organ failure.
