Blood test duo may spot sepsis danger early in seniors

This study looks at whether combining two blood markers—uric acid/albumin ratio and lactate—can help predict which older adults (65+) with sepsis will develop kidney injury, need blood pressure support, or die within 28 days. Researchers will follow 80 ICU patients who do not have kidney damage at the start. The goal is to find an easy, low-cost way to identify high-risk patients early and guide treatment.
