S. aureus
Dialysis in kidneys
Dialysis is a treatment aimed at purifying the blood when the kidneys are not capable of doing so. It helps the body eliminate waste and excess fluid from the blood. (Dyalisis. American Kidney Fund)
Dialysis is important because it replaces the functions of the kidneys when they cannot work properly.
Without dialysis, toxins and waste would build up in the body, leading to a number of serious complications, such as electrolyte imbalances, fluid buildup, abnormal levels of waste products in the blood.
Homeostasis
Body temperature increases as part of the immune system's response to Staphylococcus aureus attack. The body raises the temperature to fight infection, as many bacteria, including S. aureus, have an optimal temperature range for growth and replication.
Blood pressure may increase as a result of the systemic inflammatory response caused by the infection. Sepsis, a serious complication of S. aureus infection, can cause an excessive inflammatory response that negatively affects the function of blood vessels and the heart, which can result in an increase in blood pressure.
Fluid and electrolyte balance is affected by several factors during an S. aureus infection. Fever and increased sweating can lead to dehydration, which affects fluid balance. Additionally, the inflammatory response can affect kidney function, leading to fluid retention and imbalances in electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and calcium.
Respiratory System
Diseases like
Pneumonia
inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, filling them with fluid or pus, leading to symptoms such as cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing
lung abscesses, and in severe cases, sepsis, respiratory failure, or death. Treatment typically involves antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia
Lung Abscesses
-
persistent cough, fever, chills, chest pain, and coughing up blood
Empyema
pus accumulation in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall
Fever, chest pain when inhaling, cough, difficulty breathing.
Circulatory System
Different disesases
Endocarditis:
How it affect
can lead to severe complications such as heart failure, stroke, and persistent infections, which can be life-threatening. A proper treatment is crucial to prevent mortality.
Septicemia
multi-organ failure, severe drop in blood pressure, and high mortality rate without prompt treatment.
Thrombosis
risk of heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism if clots travel to the lungs or brain, leading to chest pain, shortness of breath, and neurological deficits
