Sepsis patient’s immunity becomes weak
Sepsis is your body’s excessive response to an infection. When you have an infection, your immune system tries to fight it. But sometimes your immune system stops fighting the infection and starts damaging your normal tissues and organs, causing widespread inflammation throughout your body. An abnormal chain reaction in your clotting system can cause blood clots to form in your blood vessels. This reduces blood flow to various organs in your body and can lead to significant damage or even failure.
