3. Decreased Urination
As sepsis progresses to a more dangerous state, the body may begin to decrease its urine output. In some situations, the body may continue to produce normal levels of urine, but tests often come back with abnormal sodium and electrolyte levels.
Changes in urination often indicate that the kidneys have been affected by sepsis. While a kidney infection may have been the original cause of sepsis, acute kidney injury may result as sepsis damages the body. Dialysis may be required to remove toxins from the blood.
