Blood markers and heart problems in septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at two simple blood tests (one for sugar and fat levels, one for inflammation) to see if they can help doctors spot heart problems early in people with septic shock. It might help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) with septic shock, a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure.
- You must not be in shock for any other reason besides the infection.
- You must not have a known history of heart disease, heart failure, or irregular heartbeats.

This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study aims to find early signs of a serious blood-clotting problem that can happen with septic shock. It tests a new way to detect this condition earlier, so doctors can treat it more quickly and improve outcomes.
This study tests two new blood tests to see if they can help doctors find sepsis earlier in the emergency department. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body overreacts to an infection, and finding it quickly could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help predict if people who have had sepsis will have thinking or memory problems later. If you are in the ICU with sepsis, this trial might help doctors understand your risk for long-term brain issues.
This trial looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
