   How does sepsis affect the body?

   • A condition that requires treatment with corticosteroids, which can lower immune response. As sepsis worsens, vital organs, such as the brain, heart and kidneys, don't get as much blood as they should. Sepsis may cause atypical blood clotting. The resulting small clots or burst blood vessels may damage or destroy tissues.
