Uric acid and lactate levels in older sepsis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether uric acid and lactate levels can help predict outcomes in sepsis patients aged 65 and older who are admitted to the intensive care unit. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older
- You must have a sepsis diagnosis according to standard definitions
- You will be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your kidney function must be normal or only mildly reduced at the time of ICU admission
- Your uric acid, albumin, and lactate levels will be measured when you arrive at the ICU
- You must stay in the ICU for at least 24 hours

This study measures a protein called uromodulin in the blood of patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) to see if it can help predict outcomes. It aims to find a better way to assess kidney damage early.
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
This study looks at how early oxygen levels relate to changes in two blood markers (uric acid and albumin) in patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how oxygen treatment affects recovery.
This study compares two blood test measurements (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lactate/albumin ratio) to see which better predicts how severe an infection is in ICU patients with sepsis. It aims to find a simpler way to track inflammation.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test (the capillary leak index) can help doctors better predict how sepsis will progress in people recovering from abdominal surgery. If you are in the ICU after surgery for an abdominal infection, this study may help guide your care.
This trial studies people with and without sepsis in the ICU to understand why some get very sick from infections. It aims to find better ways to predict who will have complications and guide treatment.
