Core Tip Septic shock, as defined by sepsis-3, is a severe form of sepsis marked by high mortality, requiring vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure ≥ 65 mmHg and lactate > 2 mmol/L despite fluids. It involves circulatory and metabolic failure. Normally, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and sympathetic nervous system maintain vascular tone and volume. In septic shock, dysregulation occurs: Reduced angiotensin (Ang)-converting enzyme activity lowers Ang II and blunts vasoconstriction, while counter-regulatory pathways via Ang-converting enzyme 2-Ang-(1–7)-mas receptor promote vasodilation. Emerging metabolites like Ang-(1–5) and alamandine show cardioprotective roles, suggesting therapeutic potential in rebalancing renin-Ang-aldosterone signaling for refractory shock.
