Noun
MODS (uncountable)
- (pathology) Acronym of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome., where one or more organs or organ systems fail. In this type of acute (relatively quick onset) situation, it is usually as a result of severe sepsis (a widespread infection and the body's irregular immune response, which then causes organ damage) which has resulted in septic shock (causing hypotension, or very low blood pressure, that can be hard to control). The mortality rate for this condition, especially untreated, is very high.
