| description | Sepsis is a systematic host response to infection defined by suppression of the
immune system and organ failure which can rapidly lead to septic shock and
death if not managed properly.
Methods Therefore, the timely diagnosis of sepsis has prompted researchers to assess
several number of blood biomarkers. In a complex situation like sepsis where
multiple organs and systems are involved, the sensitivity and specificity of
blood indicators that can easily and accurately show the severity and prognosis
of the disorder are of great importance.
Results C-reactive protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin are the most common biomarkers
used in clinical routine to diagnose sepsis and monitor the response to
treatment. Other biomarkers including pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, monocyte and lymphocyte,
antibodies, and nucleic acid can also be used to assess the disorder. Biomarkers
offer utility for disease progress, the prognosis of disorder, risk stratification,
and treatment effect rather than diagnosis at the early stage of sepsis.
Conclusions Therefore, although defining molecular properties in septic patients opens up
new means to diagnose and manage sepsis in a shorter time compared to
conventional methods currently used at hospitals, further clinical evaluation of
biomarkers should be performed. In this review, we summarized
pathophysiology, pathogeneses, and clinical diagnosis of sepsis. We also
provided an overview of the role of candidate biomarkers on diagnosis and
prognosis of sepsis. |
