Kidneys perform in the human bodycleaning function and remove from the blood toxic substances that are subsequently excreted in the urine. With a hemorrhagic infection, the main work of the kidneys weakens, as a result of harmful substances enter the blood. Against the background of acute renal failure, other symptoms of murine fever reappear - nausea, vomiting, women sometimes have uterine bleeding, and there is a sharp weakness. In the lumbar region, pains in patients are so strong that even a slight touch becomes painful for them. This period in the disease is considered the most dangerous and difficult, it lasts up to 2 weeks.
