Vitamin D for sepsis patients in the ICU
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a specific form of vitamin D can improve recovery for patients with severe infections (sepsis) in the intensive care unit. The vitamin D may help control inflammation and support the immune system.
