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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 examines how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (a hormone system that helps control blood pressure) changes in patients with septic shock, compared to those with sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these changes and possibly improve treatment.
This study checks if a simple blood test (the ratio of urea to creatinine) can help doctors understand changes in your metabolism during septic shock. It compares this test to a more detailed measurement of how your body uses energy. This might help guide your treatment without extra invasive procedures.
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 compares two blood test methods to help predict sepsis (a severe infection) and patient outcomes in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients faster and more accurately.
This study tests a new way to diagnose kidney problems in people with sepsis using a special bedside ultrasound. The goal is to catch early signs of kidney damage so treatment can start sooner.
