High-dose vitamin D for sepsis patients in the ICU
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving very high doses of vitamin D can help adults with sepsis who are in the intensive care unit (ICU). It looks at whether this treatment improves recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
