About this document
Sepsis Biomarkers: Procalcitonin and Beyond by Raka Petra Prazasta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This article discusses four biomarkers - kallistatin, testican-1, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, and presepsin - that could potentially replace or be used along with commonly used sepsis biomarkers like procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6. The biomarkers are compared in terms of their ability to diagnose sepsis and monitor its progression. Kallistatin in particular is introduced and its characteristics and roles in inflammation and angiogenesis are described.
