I experienced shock symptoms yesterday, and my doctor diagnosed me with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). What is the primary cause of early-stage shock in HFRS?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Jiang Weimin
The primary cause of early shock in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is severe damage to the vascular wall, leading to heightened localized pain and increased vascular permeability. This results in substantial plasma leakage from blood vessels into the surrounding tissues, thereby reducing intravascular blood volume and causing a sharp drop in blood pressure—ultimately triggering shock.
