Investigating arterial stiffness in sepsis patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to determine if arterial stiffness, measured by Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), is an independent risk factor for acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. It will compare PWV with shear wave ultrasound elastography (SWE) as methods for evaluating arterial stiffness and predicting kidney injury. The study will collect demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from adult patients admitted to the critical care unit with sepsis. Comprehensive assessments will include vital signs, fluid status, and various laboratory tests to evaluate organ function.
