Urosepsis is defined as sepsis caused by urinary tract infection. This occurs in 25% of all sepsis cases. ⋯ Depending on severity, early reconstitution of adequate oxygen delivery has parallel priority, therefore necessitating intensive care unit treatment within the first hours. Therapy should consist of eliminating the infectious focus, antimicrobial treatment, supportive therapy, and special sepsis therapy.
