My husband had severe MRSA sepsis. He had a sonogram 8 months later which shows a sepated cyst in the pole of kidney, the sonogram was abnormal . The sonogram was done due to the creatinine still rising . Does anyone know if he will get better? He is 70 yrs. old and was misdiagnosed in the ER with a virus. I took him home when he was actually in septic shock with a very low blood pressure and cardiomegally which he can confirm he never had before, how did all this happen to his organs ?

Thank you. It is hard to see and hear a medical doctor stand and say hmmm, I wonder why the 2000ml of fluid is not raising his blood pressure? Well 70 /50 and lower for so many hours ,chilling , spiked fever etc. I wanted to ask also the kidney sonogram also said arththerioclirotic artery in both kidneys, I can't spell the word but wonder what that means?
Shirl, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I spoke with one of our experts and he would need quite a bit more information to answer your questions. A physician who is familiar with your husband's medical history would be better suited to help.
