Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES To establish the therapeutic efficiency of melatonin in adult patients with severe sepsis and septic shock

Specifically

1 To evaluate the survival to 28 days of mechanical assisted ventilation days with vasoactive drugs need of hemodialysis-hemofiltration superinfection and evolution towards the failure of other organs
2 To evaluate waiting for reduction under the influence of the treatment with melatonin

1 clinical - analytical parameters of sepsis
2 levels of cytokines
3 oxidative and nitrosative stress
4 acute-phase proteins APP specially of the ITIH4
5 immune response
6 endocrine response

METHODOLOGY Patients will be randomized in two groups n 55 in each group 1 treatment with melatonin 30mg12 hours 28 days 2 placebo

Determinations a clinical - analytical parameters relative to the sepsis b melatonin plasmatic levels c quantification of malonyldialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal protein carbonyl content nitrites erythrocyte membrane fluidity and superoxide dismutase catalase glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase activity d Interleukins-1245 6 78101213 IFN-γ TNF-α and GM-CSF e acute-phase proteins PCR haptoglobin Apo A-I α1-GPA and ITIH4 f lymphocytes T B NK T CD4 and T CD8 and immunoglobulins g cortisol aldosterone ACTH ADH insulin glucagon and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 Data will be analyzed following a prospectively define plan and by intention-to-treat ITT analysis
Detailed Description: This study will be done in the Hospital Clinico Lozano Blesa Zaragoza Spain promoted by the Health Science Aragon Institute and its principal investigator is F Agustín García Gil Surgical Service It will start in April-May 2013 and will finish 12 months later approximately The study sponsor is ICS Aragon Institute of Health Sciences
