Heparin-binding protein: a potential biomarker in sepsis?
[Q1]To the Editor—We read with great interest the study conducted by Linder et al [1] that presented heparin-binding protein as an early marker of circulatory failure in sepsis[Q2]. Linder and colleagues reported impressive sensitivity and specificity for this novel marker in predicting severe sepsis, with or without septic shock. Some major issues should be brought up more clearly to the reade...
متن کاملSerum Calprotectin: A Potential Biomarker for Neonatal Sepsis
INTRODUCTION The correct diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is a relevant problem because sepsis is one of the most important causes of neonatal morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospital stay. Calprotectin is an antimicrobial, calcium and zinc binding heterocomplex protein that could be used as a nonspecific marker for activation of granulocytes and mononuclear phagocytes. Calprotectin has been pr...
متن کاملKlotho Protein,A Biomarker for AKI
Klotho is an anti-aging single-pass membrane protein that is mainly produced in the kidney. The level of soluble klotho decreases with age and the klotho gene is associated with an increased risk of age-related diseases, such as diabetes, skin atrophy, chronic kidney disease, ataxia and cancer. The klotho gene is composed of five exons and encodes a membrane glycoprotein located in the plasma ...
متن کاملLOX-1 protein, A Biomarker in the Prognosis of Atherosclerosis
LOX-1 is a class E scavenger receptor that mediates the uptake of oxLDL by vascular cells. LOX-1 is involved in endothelial dysfunctions, monocyte adhesion, the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of smooth muscle cells, foam cell formation, platelet activation, as well as plaque instability; all of these events are critical in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. These LOX-1-dependent bio...
متن کاملprocalcitonin, a reliable biomarker in management of sepsis
procalcitonin is widely used as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis for sepsis and infection as well as monitoring the response to antibiotic therapy. in this study we systematically reviewed the value of procalcitonin in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in patients with sepsis or infection.
