Thyroid and adrenal health in ICU patients
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how often thyroid and adrenal problems occur in people with sepsis or septic shock in the ICU. It may help doctors understand if these hormone issues happen more often during critical illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU (intensive care unit) with sepsis or septic shock (a severe infection affecting your whole body).
- You do not have any known hormone disorders before coming to the ICU.
- You are not currently taking steroids or thyroid hormone medications.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had surgery on your thyroid or adrenal glands before.
- Your heart rhythm does not have a pacer or certain block patterns (like bundle branch block with a wide QRS).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
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 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 observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
This study is looking at how sepsis affects bone marrow to understand why some people get very sick. If you are in the ICU with a serious infection or another critical illness, you may be eligible to join.
This study looks at markers of inflammation, infection, and immunity in patients who are in the critical care area. It aims to find early signs of how severe the illness might become, how well treatments work, and if infections will develop.
