Gut leaks in septic shock: a closer look at hidden infections
NCT ID NCT03861325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 intensive care patients with septic shock to see if their intestines become leaky, allowing bacteria to enter the blood. Researchers measured specific markers in the blood over a week to track gut damage and changes in gut bacteria. The goal was to better understand this process, not to test a new treatment.
