Obesity-related Death: Muhammad Fajri Dies of Organ Failure from Septic Shock

Obesity-Related Death: Muhammad Fajri Dies of Organ Failure Due to Septic Shock

Jakarta – Muhammad Fajri, a 26-year-old man from Tangerang City, has tragically passed away at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) on Thursday (22/6/2023). Fajri, who was experiencing extreme obesity and weighed up to 300 kg, died due to organ failure caused by septic shock.

Fajri had been receiving treatment at RSCM for 14 days prior to his death. Upon his admission to the hospital, Fajri was already suffering from cardio-respiratory problems, including issues with his heart and lungs. Additionally, an infection in his right leg further exacerbated his condition.

Dr. Sidharta Kusuma Manggala, an anesthesiology and intensive care specialist at RSCM, explained during a press conference on Thursday (22/6), “The other features of septic shock are organ failure. So he starts failing his heart, blood vessels, his blood pressure starts to drop, his kidneys are problematic too. Because of his septic shock.”

Fajri’s body will be laid to rest at the Menteng Pulo Public Cemetery (TPU). The Central Jakarta Fire Department (Damkar) Team and Basarnas will assist in the burial process.

Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood pressure drops to dangerously low levels following an infection. According to Healthline, there are three stages of sepsis: sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. Sepsis refers to the infection reaching the bloodstream and causing inflammation in the body. Severe sepsis indicates that the infection is severe enough to affect organ function. Septic shock involves a significant drop in blood pressure, which can lead to respiratory or heart failure, stroke, other organ dysfunction, and ultimately death.

Sepsis is most commonly caused by a bacterial infection, although almost any infection can lead to sepsis if left untreated. Both sepsis and septic shock can affect anyone. While not every infection will result in sepsis or septic shock, if the infection causes enough inflammation, it can progress to sepsis.

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the final stage of severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis. MODS refers to a change in organ function in acutely ill patients that requires medical intervention. This condition can result from infection, injury (such as accidents or surgeries), hypoperfusion, and hypermetabolism. The main trigger is an uncontrolled inflammatory response.

The news of Muhammad Fajri’s untimely death serves as a reminder of the serious health risks associated with obesity and the potential complications that can arise from infections. It highlights the importance of timely medical intervention and the need for increased awareness and support for individuals struggling with obesity-related health issues.
