What is the recovery percentage of elderly patients with poor health on dialysis and with sepsis infection?

---

Dear Angie:

No one can give you a recovery percentage. The information you gave doesn't begin to tell the story.

On dialysis and septic . . .

There are too many lab values that have to be scrutinized.

The cause/s for 'septic' and the appropriate medical intervention needs to be looked at.

For whatever reason you ask this question, the patient on dialysis may live 5 years. Dialysis DOES prolong life.

If you are a direct relative, you need to turn your attention on your own health so that you don't end-up on dialysis.

But, that is another question, and another story.

Hope this gives you something to think about. Or, please be more specific in your question.  (+ info)

how my relative with sepsis effected liver,renal and heart should treated ?

started with infection that infected liver first then renal than heart how that should care ?
Hi
Sepsis is a severe illness in which the bloodstream is overwhelmed by bacteria.

Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that complicates severe infection and is characterized by systemic inflammation and widespread tissue injury. Multiple organ dysfunction is a continuum, with incremental degrees of physiological derangements in individual organs; it is a process rather than an event. Alteration in organ function can vary widely from a mild degree of organ dysfunction to completely irreversible organ failure.

Organ dysfunction or organ failure may be the first clinical sign of sepsis, and no organ system is immune from the consequences of the inflammatory excesses of sepsis.derangement in autoregulation of circulation is typical of sepsis. Vasoactive mediators cause vasodilatation and increase the microvascular permeability at the site of infection. Also, impaired secretion of vasopressin may occur, which may permit persistence of vasodilatation.
Changes in both systolic and diastolic ventricular performance occur in sepsis. cardiac output often is increased to maintain the BP in the presence of systemic vasodilatation.

the role of the liver in host defense, the abnormal synthetic functions caused by liver dysfunction can contribute to both the initiation and progression of sepsis. The reticuloendothelial system of the liver acts as a first line of defense in clearing bacteria and their products; liver dysfunction leads to a spillover of these products into systemic circulation.

Acute renal failure often accompanies sepsis due to acute tubular necrosis. The mechanism is complex but involve decrease effective intravascular volume due to systemic hypotension, direct renal vasoconstriction, release of cytokines, and activation of neutrophils by endotoxins and other peptides, which contribute to renal injury.

About the treatment.....its accordingly to stages of site affected.But here is(below mentioned) some initial line of treatment------>>
People with sepsis usually need to be in an intensive care unit (ICU). As soon as sepsis is suspected, "broad spectrum" (able to destroy a wide array of bacteria) intravenous (directly in the vein) antibiotic therapy is begun.

The number of antibiotics may be decreased when blood tests reveal which particular bacteria are causing the infection. The source of the infection should be discovered, if possible. This could mean more testing. Infected intravenous lines or surgical drains should be removed, and any abscesses should be surgically drained.

Oxygen, intravenous fluids, and medications that increase blood pressure may be needed. Dialysis may be necessary if there is kidney failure, and a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) if there is respiratory failure.  (+ info)

How can sepsis result from a single focus of infection, such as an abscess?

---

Sepsis is an infection that involves the blood. If there is a single focus of infection, such as an abscess, & the infection goes untreated it can "seep" into the bloodstream & multiply causing high temperature & severe illness. Sepsis can result from any type of infection that is caused by a bacteria. Urinary tract infection can lead to urosepsis etc. Viral infections rarely cause septicemia. If you suspect that an abscess is not resolving on its own, you may need an oral antibiotic such as Keflex. It takes alot for an infection to turn to sepsis in the run of the mill joe bloe walking. The higher risk people are those that are debilitated and / or elderly.  (+ info)

Is anyone familiar with the health problem called sepsis?

---

I've only read that it is a poor circulation problem and I like to ask if anyone knows the symptoms or what it may look like, feel like in the lower leg and foot area/ I'd like to ask for any info before seeing my doctor. Thank You
Sepsis is infection in the body. It is not just an individual part or condition.
I have a question, Do you have discoloration in your lower limbs? Do you have browning of your skin? they will start out looking like freckles and then they just increase. If all of this is you. You will want to be sure to ask your Dr to send you to see a CardioVascular Physician. My mom has delt with this for year. This is a progressive problem and sooner or later you can also end up with external ulcerations on your legs &/or feet. My mom is in the hospital right now with all of this.
Sepsis is a term that is thrown around at many infections. Basically it is when you have infection that travels through your body. It is a very generic term.
What it sounds like to me, when you said circulatory problems, is that you may have PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) or PVD (Peripheral Vascular Disease). This is usually a fancy way of saying bad circulation. The blood is able to go down, but not as able to come back up from your lower extremities.
Elevate your feet every chance you get. I mean way up there. Also, avoid standing on cement if possible. Avoid lengthy car rides where you are unable to move about. Get to your Family Dr and ask to be referred to a CardioVascular Dr. This is not something that will go away, but there are things that can be done to help and to make things easier on you.  (+ info)

What would it be like to die of sepsis?

---

Would you just be so out of it that you wouldn't suffer?
This causes many changes in a human body. Temperatures, heart rates, blood pressures, dysfunctions of organs then death. This is caused when severe infection over activate the body's immune system.This causes blood pressure to drop and cardiovascular collapse plus many other body organs start to deteriorate this can and has caused all organs to shut down and then death.
This is another disease us humans don't hear much about as well!But it's rate of deaths is higher than cancer.Around 210,000 Amercian's die from this disease alone in a year and 1.400 a day why has this not been brought out to humanS?????
This would be a rotten way to die with pain and suffering all the meds you would have to take and afarid to be around any people, All you could think about is which organ will fail me to day and how long before I have a stroke or a heart attack, not to mention all the test and lab work plus doctor/hospital vistes that would get so old. This seems to me to be a slow painful death.But its out there!!!!!  (+ info)

Does anybody know of cases where wisdom tooth (3rd molar) extraction has led to sepsis post-operation?

If so, what happened and what was the result? What was the cause?

My 83 year old mother is terminal with MSRA and Sepsis in Hospice - is there still a chance for her to survive

---

She is strong willed and was so full of life - the nurses tell us that her body is starting to shut down - digestive tract right now she can't eat or drink water - is this it?
I am terminally ill, so I have an idea of where you are coming from. Unfortunately, the term "terminal" means exactly that - end of life. It sounds like you are still not quite at the acceptance phase of dealing with her terminal illness. At some point, hopefully soon, you will come to the realization that her time here is coming to an end. The quicker you get there, the better it is for you and your mother. She's lived a long life, but is now nearing the end of her journey. Just enjoy the little time you have left with her. I hope her passing is peaceful and free from pain and suffering. Sorry for your troubles. My best wishes to all of you.  (+ info)

A question about Sepsis and how long a patient has to live...?

---

My friend's grandmother is being discharged from the hospital and basically sent home to die on her own. She presented to the ER with a very painful UTI and has been in the hospital for over 2 months. Her infection is resistant to all antibiotics they have tried. I know the time she has left is dependent on the severity of her infection, and I've learned that in the elderly a septic patient has about a 20% chance of survival. Is there a ballpark range of how long she has to live?
average is a few days maybe a week or 2 y they would send her home is outrageous with that long to live, most hospitals would keep the patient there elders sometimes have 3 weeks in my hospitals research  (+ info)
