What Are the Causes of Septic Shock?
Septic shock is when blood pressure drops so low that it is at the life-threatening stage. The causes–a combination of infection, inflammation and immune system functions gone awry–are as serious as the symptoms experienced from it (low blood pressure, mental confusion and dizziness, to name three). What’s more, septic shock doesn’t just affect one part of the body; it can affect any part of it.
