Urosepsis. Clinical aspects--therapy--results

Nine cases of urosepsis registered between 1986 and 1990 are analyzed. Authors intended to find out practical conclusions which can improve the prognosis of urosepsis. Risk factors are considered advanced age, preoperative disorders (diabetes, malnutrition), preexistent end organ failure (kidney, liver, lung) and urinary infection. Early diagnosis, emergency restoration of urinary flow, suppression of primary focus of infection, intravenous antibiotherapy and energetic intensive care measures are necessary for the outcome of patients.
