Laboratory markers of sepsis
OCHOZKOVÁ, Šárka
Sepsis and its complications are currently the most frequent cause of death owing to multi organ failure at intensive care units. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the most suitable usable marker with sufficient diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for early catch of sepsis development. For my thesis a chosen data collection patients of intensive care units and patients of neonatology department in Nemocnice a.s. (Hospital Inc.) in České Budějovice was used. In patients, determinations of following concentration parameters were carried out: PCT, CRP, IL-6. For diagnosis and evaluation of clinical state change in relation to sepsis PCT is convenient. For monitoring of steady course and clinical state it is useful and sufficient to watch dynamics of CRP. In newborns the sensitivity PCT decreases in sepsis probably due to immaturity of liver and immunity system. That is why according to experience gained in Nemocnice a.s. (Hospital Inc.) České Budějovice it is more convenient to determine IL-6 instead of PCT.
