Protein clue may explain fluid overload in septic shock

NCT ID NCT04474431

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looked at 103 adults with septic shock to see if a protein called VEGF-A is linked to how much fluid they retain. The goal was to better understand why patients with sepsis often develop fluid buildup, which can be harmful. Researchers measured VEGF-A levels and fluid balance on the first and third days in the ICU. The findings may help doctors manage fluids more effectively in the future.
