Sepsis is a progressive disease process caused by an aggressive and dysfunctional immune response to an infection in the bloodstream. Illnesses like bronchitis, pneumonia and kidney infection can turn septic.
Sepsis starts with symptoms of an infection, the condition can progress to septic shock, which may be lethal.
Lack of vital vitamins in the body can increase the risk of Sepsis.
Chronic diseases like AIDS, cancer, diabetes, lung, kidney and liver raises the risk of Sepsis. Being exposed to
infection-causing bacteria in health centers can also increase the risk of Sepsis.
The condition can leads to extremely low blood pressure that is unresponsive to fluid replacement, weakening of the heart and multiple-organ failure if treatment is delayed.
Steroid hydrocortisone, intravenous (IV) vitamin C, thiamine (vitamin B-1) can be used to treat Sepsis. Vitamin C
prevents and treat infectious diseases.
Thiamine is required for metabolism of some of the metabolites of vitamin C. It
reduces the risk of renal failure and mortality.
