Sepsis clot study reveals hidden danger
NCT ID NCT06312488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well the body breaks down blood clots in people with sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection. Researchers measured a specific blood test in 100 critically ill patients to see how common clot breakdown problems are. The goal was to better understand the condition, not to test a new treatment.
