Thyroid and adrenal gland problems in intensive care
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how often patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) with sepsis or septic shock have problems with their thyroid and adrenal glands. It may help doctors understand and treat these hormone issues better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock.
- You do not have a history of hormone (endocrine) disorders.
- You are not taking corticosteroid or thyroid hormone medications.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had surgery on your hormone glands (like thyroid or adrenal).
- You do not have an irregular heart rhythm that affects your ECG (like bundle branch block).

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 study looks at how a hormone system that controls blood pressure acts in people with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure). It compares patients with septic shock, sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy people to find differences that might lead to better treatments.
This study tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
This study looks at how the bone marrow behaves in people with sepsis and other critical illnesses. It aims to see if changes in bone marrow are linked to how sick a patient is and their chance of recovery. Participants will have a small sample of bone marrow taken from the pelvis.
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.
