Thyroid and cortisol hormone response to sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how thyroid and cortisol hormones change in adults with sepsis (a serious infection) in the ICU. It may help understand how the body reacts during critical illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have sepsis and be in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You must not have any thyroid disease (like underactive or overactive thyroid)
- You must not have hypopituitarism (pituitary gland not working properly)
- You must not have Addison disease (adrenal gland not making enough hormones)
- You must not have Cushing syndrome (too much cortisol in the body)

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 wants to learn how your immune system reacts to a serious infection (like sepsis) in the ICU. By looking at your immune cells, doctors hope to better predict your recovery and find the best treatment for you.
This trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
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.
This trial studies a quick set of tests to figure out whether a person with severe infection (sepsis) will respond to corticosteroids like hydrocortisone. The goal is to guide treatment sooner and avoid ineffective care.
