Effects of Hydrocortison Treatment on Angiotensin II and Angiotensin II Receptors in Patients With Septic Shock

February 6, 2021 updated by: Ayse Belin Ozer, Inonu University

The Effect of Hydrocortison Treatment on Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Receptors in Patients Suffering From Septic Shock: A Prospective Observational Study

This study aims to evaluate the role of angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2 on catecholomine responsive and catecholomine resistant septic shock, and the effect of hydrocortisone traetment on catecholomine resistant septic shock and angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2.Angiotensin II can be used as a biomarker of vasoplegia observed in refractory septic shock unresponsive to catecholamine. In these patients; therapeutic effect of hydrocortisone on hypotension was performed by decreasing AT 2 level, AT2 should be investigated as a therapeutic target in the treatment of vasoplegia-induced hypotension and SVRI measured by minimally invasive cardiac output method suggests that it can be used as a useful parameter in the diagnosis and follow-up of vasoplegia.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will be enrolled 40 patients diagnosed with septic shock according to Sepsis 3 criteria. The patients with septic shock who needed a noradrenaline infusion rate of up to 0.5µg/kg/min to maintain MAP>65 mmHg will be classified as control group (n=20) and the ones who required a noradrenaline infusion rate above 0.5µg/kg will be classified as hydrocortisone group (n=20). Blood samples will be taken for analysis of plasma angiotensin II, AT1, AT2 levels at the time of diagnosis, one hour after and on the 3rd day of the bundle and the hydrocortisone treatment. Hemodynamic parameters simultaneously obtain by continuous minimal invasive cardiac output measurement method will record.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: 0-3 days
Serum angiotensin II levels

0-3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
