"Septic shock is a very complex condition that involves the immune system and its relationship with the source of infection. We can see the same immune response in a septic shock, but instead of being located in the affected tissue, it is found throughout the body. For example, a severe kidney infection would trigger the release of inflammatory cytokines, which cause vasodilatation, an accelerated influx of monocytes and neutrophils, changes in coagulation, and an increase in endothelial permeability.
In septic shock, all of these body reactions are found inside and outside the kidneys. This immune reaction causes thrombosis in organ capillaries, endothelial damage, edema, and inflammation on a systemic scale. It is an exaggerated inflammatory response that is not only found in the organ currently triggering the infection.
The exact pathophysiology of this condition is not entirely understood. However, we know that the most dangerous abnormalities in septic shock have to do with alterations in the circulatory system. Coagulation abnormalities, hypotension, hypoperfusion, and endothelial damage slowly cause organ dysfunction, not limited to the infected organ. That is why it is also known as multi-organ failure."
Sounds like LL could handle this!
