If someone have septicaemia what would it do to their digestive SYSTEM?
Answers:
sepsis isn't really discriminating when it comes to different systems.
ans septicemia is pretty much what would front to sepsis, but is usually avoided as a medical term
it is used usually as an example of a synonym for bacteremia which is the presence of bacteria in the blood that would with alacrity result in SIRS, which is systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which is what sepsis is characterized by.
these could happen in the kidney:
Kidney
oliguria and anuria
electrolyte abnormality
volume overload
The situation in sepsis is that systems fail contained by their normal function. Normally in the gut the resident bacterial flora remain confined to the gut lumen. In sepsis they translocate from the lumen and enter the bloodstream, making matters worse by generate toxins which ultimately affect the heart. Source(s): 20 years in intensive care medicine
The sepsis is a systemic inflamatory response caused by an infection, in septicaemia the sepsis spreads through the blood and the infectious agent could be recovered by blood cultures.
During a sepsis or septicaemia there are several symptoms approaching fever, Tachycardia, respiratory disorders etc.
The digestive system can also be a source of the septicaemia when the several bacterias and other microorganisms that colonize the guts get access to the blood such as in a peritonitis or a wound wound that damage the intestine however the digestive system is not the main target during a sepsis, the septicfaemia can cause infectious focuse surrounded by the heart and lung but usually not in the digestive system itself although all stress conditions such as a sepsis inhibit the digestion overall and the liver could also be compromised resulting in a hepatitis.
In a severe septicaemia the coagulation could be artificial resulting in hemorrhages and ultimately the microorganisms toxins can damage the endothelium, the thin covering of cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels, cause septic shock with systemic hypotention and disfunction of multiple systems specially the heart and the lungs.
Basically it means they have a systemic infection...an infection all through their system near resulting poisonous activity from the germs....
