Thyroid and stress hormone changes in sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's thyroid and stress hormones (cortisol) change in people with sepsis. The goal is to better understand how these hormones respond during severe infection, which may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection) and are in the intensive care unit
- You do not have a known thyroid disease
- You do not have a pituitary gland disorder
- You do not have Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome

This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who are critically ill with sepsis. By understanding these changes, doctors hope to find better ways to treat this serious condition.
This study looks at different types (“endotypes”) of sepsis in adults to better understand what’s happening in the body and how patients may respond. You might be asked to provide information and samples as the study tries to sort sepsis into meaningful subgroups.
This study looks at how the immune system changes during sepsis, a life-threatening infection that can cause organ failure. By studying blood samples over time, researchers hope to find better ways to treat or prevent complications.
This study looks at how severe infections (like sepsis) affect the body's immune system over time. It may help researchers find better ways to help patients recover.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with sepsis (a severe response to infection that can cause organ failure). It aims to understand immune dysfunction to help improve treatments.
