What are the Late signs or symptoms for shock?
Depending on the primary etiology for shock, signs/symptoms will vary. Usually, evidence of profound or severe shock, without medical interventions, consist of severe neurological deficits (obtunded, coma), however, this is more likely secondary to the effects of shock (uremia, acidosis, hypoxia). Purely speaking, the late sign/symptom of shock is death. Shock in of itself is already a late sign/symptom (progression) of a primary insult to the body (cardiogenic: myocardial infarction or heart attack, heart failure; distributive: Infection, anaphylaxis, neurogenic; Hypovolemic: hemorrhage). So, the answer is death.

If a patient chooses not to receive the treatment doctors recommend, and the patient is in the ER or in-patient, the patient will be asked to sign a "Left against medical advice" type form. It releases the doctor and facility from any liability if the patient leaves, then gets sicker or dies after refusing treatment.
