The aim of this observational study is to investigate whether GDF-15 levels can predict clinical outcome in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of septic shock. The main question is: * Can the level of GDF-15 levels during ICU admission predict the development of multiple organ failure in patients with septic shock? All patients will continue to receive routine treatment for sepsis and septic shock. The investigators will observe the development of multiple organ failure by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score increase
