Soluble ST2 Plasma Concentrations Predict Mortality in HBV-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure
Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is a rapidly progressing and frequently fatal condition. The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin- (IL-) 33 and soluble ST2 (sST2) were associated with disease severity and mortality in HBV-ACLF. We found that plasma levels of sST2 but not IL-33 were higher in HBV-ACLF patients compared with chronic hepatitis ...
متن کاملIncreased plasma concentrations of soluble ST2 are predictive for 1-year mortality in patients with acute destabilized heart failure.
BACKGROUND The soluble isoform of the interleukin-1 receptor family member ST2 (sST2) has been implicated in heart failure. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the capability of sST2 as a prognostic marker in patients with acute destabilized heart failure. METHODS sST2 plasma concentrations were obtained in 137 patients with acute destabilized heart failure attending the emergency de...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of myeloperoxidase predict mortality after myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated relationships between plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO), protein oxidation markers, and clinical outcome retrospectively in patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Reactive oxidants are implicated in cardiovascular disease, and elevated plasma MPO is reported to predict adverse outcome in acute coronary syndromes. METHODS Detailed demographi...
متن کاملCortisol levels and mortality in severe sepsis.
OBJECTIVE Serum cortisol levels rise in response to the stress of critical illness but the optimal range of serum cortisol in such settings is not clearly defined. The objectives of this study were to determine the range of serum cortisol levels in a group of medical intensive care unit patients with severe sepsis/septic shock using uniform criteria, and to correlate serum cortisol levels to mo...
متن کاملEarly natural killer cell counts in blood predict mortality in severe sepsis
INTRODUCTION Host immunity should play a principal role in determining both the outcome and recovery of patients with sepsis that originated from a microbial infection. Quantification of the levels of key elements of the immune response could have a prognostic value in this disease. METHODS In an attempt to evaluate the quantitative changes in the status of immunocompetence in severe sepsis o...
