Sepsis With Multiple Organ Dysfunction (MOD) clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Sepsis with multiple organ dysfunction is a severe body reaction to infection that harms many organs. UCSF is studying DNA elements in blood that may change with age and infection. UCSF is matching these lab results with patient organ function data.
Role of Transposable Elements in Septic Immune Aging
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how transposable element levels affect the patient outcomes in sepsis. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. Do transposable elements prematurely age the immune systems of patients with sepsis? 2. Do transposable elements correlate with increased mortality in patients with sepsis in the ICU? 3. Do transposable elements correlate with increased amount of secondary infections in patients with sepsis in the ICU? Participants will have blood drawn from them but will not be subjected to additional interventions.
