Sepsis Sign #5: Urinating Less
Urine is a waste liquid that has been filtered from the blood by the kidneys. It tends to contain toxins that are potentially harmful to us, making the kidneys a very important part of our bodies. If they were to fail, then the toxins in the blood could kill us. If you have sepsis, though, then the functioning of the kidneys can be at risk.
Even though you may be sick, your body will still need to extract toxins from the blood. Indeed, it could even be more important than usual, especially with so many chemicals and pathogens present. If you find that you are urinating less frequently, it could be a sign that sepsis is preventing your kidneys from working properly.
