Abstract Introduction In septic patients an unpredictable response to epinephrine may be due to pharmacodynamic factors or to nonlinear pharmacokinetics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of epinephrine and its determinants in patients with septic shock. Methods Thirty-eight consecutive adult patients with septic shock were prospectively recruited immediately before epinephrine infusion. A baseline blood sample C0 was taken to assess endogenous epinephrine norepinephrine renin aldosterone and plasma cortisol levels before epinephrine infusion. At a fixed cumulative epinephrine
