The Emerging Role of Vitamin C as a Treatment for Sepsis
Open accessAbstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Decades of research have failed to identify any specific therapeutic targets outside of antibiotics, infectious source elimination, and supportive care. More recently, vitamin C has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent to treat sepsis. Vitamin C has been shown to be deficient in septic patients and the administration of high dose intravenous as opposed to oral vitamin C leads to markedly improved and elevated serum levels. Its physiologic role in sepsis includes attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation, improving vasopressor synthesis, enhancing immune cell function, improving endovascular function, and epigenetic immunologic modifications. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated the safety of vitamin C and two recent studies have shown promising data on mortality improvement. Currently, larger randomized controlled studies are underway to validate these findings. With further study, vitamin C may become standard of care for the treatment of sepsis, but given its safety profile, current treatment can be justified with compassionate use.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that can have beneficial effects on delaying the aging process and age-related diseases through its action on redox oxidative and mitochondrial pathways, immune system, inflamm-aging, endothelial integrity, and lipoprotein metabolism.
“Vitamin C or ascorbic acid (AA) is a powerful antioxidant that can have beneficial effects on delaying the aging process and age-related diseases thorough its action on redox oxidative and mitochondrial pathways, on the immune system, on inflamm-aging, on endothelial integrity, and on lipoprotein metabolism [114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
