Abstract

Background: Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Magnesium reportedly has immunomodulatory effects and is associated with dysregulated host response to infection and the pathophysiology of sepsis. Previous studies reported that hypomagnesemia was associated with lactic acidosis in sepsis, increased incidence of sepsis or septic shock in critically ill patients, and increased mortality in sepsis. Thus, this study is being conducted to explore the association between serum magnesium levels and coagulopathy in sepsis, outcomes.
