What Is Toxic Shock Syndrome?
7. Complications
If it is not treated in time, then toxic shock syndrome can result in some extremely severe complications. One of these is shock, which means that not enough blood is circulating to feed the bodily tissues. Without the blood that they need, the bodily tissues will begin to die off, and organs will stop working.
Renal failure is another potential cause as the kidneys become overloaded with the toxins in the system. This will mean that the patient’s toxin levels will continue to rise beyond the levels they are at already. Toxic shock will also result in a fatality in some cases.
