What Is Babesiosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Kidney Failure
If left untreated then the symptoms of babesiosis can develop into something even more dangerous still. For example, the kidneys can become overwhelmed and this can cause them to begin to fail. Failing kidneys will cause the patient’s body to become increasingly toxic and is something that should be addressed.
In addition, the patient’s heart can also begin to fail, making it gradually less effective at keeping the blood circulating. One potential outcome of this is that the patient’s blood pressure can begin to fall. Heart failure can also be very serious so it too should be addressed as soon as it is diagnosed.
