Calcium and blood vessel hardening in sepsis shock
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how calcium buildup in blood vessels and a specific receptor on immune cells might affect recovery from septic shock. It aims to understand if these factors impact how well patients respond to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are in the intensive care unit with septic shock and started blood pressure medicine within the last 24 hours
- You have a lactate level higher than 2 mmol/L
- You live in France year-round

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies specific body proteins to understand why fluid can leak from blood vessels during dangerous shock after infection or heart problems. If you (or your representative) qualify, your team will collect information and possibly samples to see whether these proteins relate to recovery and treatment response.
This study looks at a protein called vasorin in the blood to see if it can help diagnose and predict outcomes in people with severe shock in the ICU. It compares patients with septic shock (caused by infection) to those with shock from other causes.
This study looks at whether ionized calcium levels (a form of calcium in your blood) can help show how severe your sepsis is. By measuring it early, doctors might better understand your condition and guide treatment.
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 trial tests a blood-filtering device (CytoSorb) that may help control the overwhelming immune response and improve blood vessel function in people with severe septic shock. It's for patients who need strong medications to keep their blood pressure up and who haven't improved with standard care.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels respond during a severe infection called sepsis. It may help doctors understand and treat this condition better.
