[Urosepsis: pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management-an update].
Urologie 2024 April 20
Urinary tract infections vary widely in their clinical spectrum, ranging from uncomplicated cystitis to septic shock. Urosepsis accounts for 9-31% of all cases of septicemia and is often associated with nosocomial infections. A major risk factor for urosepsis is the presence of obstructive uropathy, caused by conditions such as urolithiasis, tumors, or strictures. The severity and course of urosepsis depend on both the virulence of the pathogen and the patient's specific immune response. Prompt therapy, including antimicrobial treatment and eradication of the infection source, along with supportive measures for circulatory and respiratory stabilization, and adjunctive therapies such as hemodialysis and glucocorticoid therapy, is crucial. Due to demographic changes, an increase in cases of urosepsis is expected-thus, it is of utmost importance for urologists to be familiar with targeted diagnostics and effective treatment.
