A biomarker panel to discriminate between systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis and sepsis severity
INTRODUCTION In this study, we report on initial efforts to discover putative biomarkers for differential diagnosis of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) versus sepsis; and different stages of sepsis. In addition, we also investigated whether there are proteins that can discriminate between patients who survived sepsis from those who did not. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study grou...
متن کاملProcalcitonin and C-reactive protein during systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis and organ dysfunction
INTRODUCTION Both C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) are accepted sepsis markers. However, there is still some debate concerning the correlation between their serum concentrations and sepsis severity. We hypothesised that PCT and CRP concentrations are different in patients with infection or with no infection at a similar severity of organ dysfunction or of systemic inflammatory r...
متن کاملProcalcitonin Biomarker Kinetics to Predict Multiorgan Dysfunction Syndrome in Children With Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
BACKGROUND Procalcitonin (PCT) kinetics is a good prognosis marker in infectious diseases, but few studies of children sepsis have been performed. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to examine kinetics of procalcitonin, to evaluate its relationship with severity and to analyze its usefulness in the prediction of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective obser...
متن کاملSystemic inflammatory response syndrome and compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome in sepsis.
the concepts of SIRS and CARS still exist, although the notion that CARS represents a reaction to SIRS has been challenged [3, 4] . In this theme issue of the Journal of Innate Immunity, current knowledge of several aspects of the SIRS and CARS concepts are reviewed in 7 articles; the issue is completed by 3 original articles about these topics. Kumpf and Schumann [5] summarize data on genetic ...
متن کاملAntioxidant supplementation in sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Summarize the current knowledge about oxidative stress-related organ dysfunction in inflammatory and septic conditions, and its potential prevention and treatment by antioxidants in critically ill patients, focusing on naturally occurring antioxidants and clinical trials. STUDY SELECTION PubMed, MEDLINE, and personal database search. SYNTHESIS Plasma concentrations of antioxidant ...
