The Obvious Risk Factors & Causes Of Sepsis

Weak Immune System

This one's obvious: a weak immune system means more infections and a much higher risk of sepsis. Yes, a much higher risk! Many, many things can make your immune system weak. Some of them? Autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, obviously. Others are diabetes and heart disease! Your doc's going to get blood tests to test your immune system. They've got to know your white blood cell count and levels of immunoglobulin! Yes. Essential info, of course.

Men, you know you need your condition treated. That's what brings your immune system back up strong again. Yes, it'll be strong again! And when it's weak? Wash your hands a lot and avoid anyone who is sick! Get lots and lots of sleep too.
