Scientists uncover protein clues to sepsis danger
NCT ID NCT06541600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 567 intensive care patients to find early warning signs of severe sepsis. Researchers measured proteins in the blood, especially one called MMP-3, to see if they could predict organ damage or death. The goal was to better understand why some people get worse, not to test a new treatment.
