3. The Disease has Five Stages
Reye’s Syndrome is considered to be a progressive disorder that gets worse with time, and there are five different stages of the disease that begins with its initial onset.
The symptoms of the disease are different for every stage, and the symptoms can help your doctor to diagnose what potential stage the disease might be in; this is crucial when designing a proper treatment routine for the disease, and great detail when describing symptoms to a doctor is always needed for this reason.
The first stages of Reye’s see discomfort and pain without a fever, though middle stages of the disease will result in liver damage and a possible swollen liver; by the end two stages of the disease, a coma becomes a common symptom, and death is sometimes seen in the final stage when the disease becomes a fatality, as is seen in as much as 40% of all cases.
