Two-hit hypothesis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
A severe insult in the form of infection or trauma primes the host immune system so that a subsequent, relatively trivial insult produces a markedly exaggerated host immune response, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and death. This forms the basis of the "two-hit hypothesis" (THH), which is being increasingly recognised as an important cause of morbidity and mortalit...

متن کاملMultiple organ failure. How valid is the "two hit" model?
Inflammatory "one hit" and "two hit" models have recently been proposed to account for the development of multiple organ failure (MOF) in trauma and critically ill surgical patients when no source of infection can be found. In the "one hit" model, the initial insult is so massive that a systemic inflammatory response syndrome is triggered and leads rapidly to MOF. In the "two hit" scenario, ini...
متن کاملInflammation, coagulopathy, and the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
OBJECTIVE An improved understanding of the mechanisms through which infecting pathogens harm the host is leading to new formulations of the concept of sepsis. We review the roles of inflammation and coagulation in the pathogenesis of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and explore the potential of new therapies to restore the fine biological balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant m...
