Testing renin levels to predict septic shock severity
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks if a blood test measuring renin (a kidney hormone) can help predict how severe septic shock will be and how well patients recover. It looks for early clues in ICU patients with sepsis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You were diagnosed with sepsis within the last 24 hours.
- You have not had any surgery on your kidneys or adrenal glands in the past 28 days.
- You are not already in this study.

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
This study tests whether two substances in urine (TIMP2 and IGFBP7) can help doctors predict which patients with sepsis-related kidney problems will get worse. If these markers work, doctors could identify high-risk patients earlier and treat them more aggressively.
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 tests a simple blood test to measure how your blood vessels leak fluid during septic shock. The results may help doctors give the right amount of fluids to keep you stable.
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 how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
