Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate associations between early structural cellular injury and microvascular alteration with progression of septic organ dysfunction according to total SOFA-Score (an ICU-scoring system - the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score). Patients will be monitored for renal (TIMP-2, IGFBP7), and intestinal biomarkers (plasma i-FABP) in conjunction with kidney and muscle vascular bed microvascular perfusion analysis assessed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). In parallel, a comprehensive analysis of patients' immunological status will be conducted using an established, on-site immune monitoring panel.

The ultimate goal of this study is an early identification of septic patients developing multiorgan dysfunction which may facilitate a timely novel intervention in the future to improve outcome.
