ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how certain ultrasound tests can help doctors better understand the relationship between gut and kidney health in patients with sepsis, which is a serious condition often caused by infections in the abdomen. The researchers will compare ultrasound results related to the stomach and intestines, as well as blood flow in the kidneys, to see how these factors relate to patient survival. By identifying changes in these areas early, the goal is to improve treatment decisions and increase the chances of recovery for those affected by this condition.

To participate in this study, patients must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) with sepsis or septic shock due to an abdominal infection. Unfortunately, those with severe injuries, advanced cancer, kidney failure, or who are pregnant cannot take part. Participants can expect to undergo ultrasound examinations, which are non-invasive and painless, to help gather important information for their care. This research aims to provide valuable insights that could lead to better outcomes for patients with sepsis in the future.
