Protein clue may explain dangerous fluid overload in sepsis
NCT ID NCT04474431
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 103 adults with septic shock to see if a protein called VEGF-A is linked to how much extra fluid their bodies hold. Septic shock causes blood vessels to leak, leading to dangerous fluid buildup. Researchers measured VEGF-A levels and fluid balance to better understand this process, which could help improve treatment in the future.
