Study of liver injury in children with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection that affects the whole body) can damage the liver in children. It may help doctors understand and detect liver problems early, so they can provide better care for children with sepsis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child must have sepsis, confirmed by a scoring system called the Phoenix Sepsis Score.
- You, as a parent or legal guardian, must give written permission for your child to join.
- Your child cannot have had a liver disease before this illness, such as cirrhosis, biliary atresia, metabolic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, viral hepatitis, a liver transplant, or liver damage from medication.

This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
This study is for people with both cirrhosis and sepsis. It will follow their hospital course to better understand how these two conditions affect each other, which may help improve care for others in the future.
This study looks at how the body's genes respond in liver failure and sepsis to better understand these conditions and potentially improve treatment.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
This trial checks if a new tool can help doctors spot sepsis early in children. If your child is under 18, had a blood culture, and received strong antibiotics within the first day in the hospital, they may qualify.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the whole body) affects children after they leave the intensive care unit. It compares children who had sepsis to those with other critical illnesses to understand long-term health.
