Gangrene is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when there is a loss of blood supply to an area of the body, usually due to injury or infection. This can cause the tissue to die, and if left untreated, can spread and cause complications such as sepsis or amputation.
Symptoms of gangrene depend on the type and location of the affected tissue, but may include:
