Pro-enkephalin in plasma of surgical icu-patients with sepsis - a pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Enkephalins are opioid peptides and enkephalin and its precursor pro-enkephalin (pro-ENK) are found to be widely distributed in organ tissues including the kidney [1]. Pro-ENK is a predictor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery and can detect severity of AKI in patients admitted to the emergency department with sepsis [2,3]. In surgical ICU-patients with sepsis, information on the suitability of pro-ENK to determine kidney function is lacking.

Introduction Synthesis and liberation of adrenomedullin (ADM) are found in different tissues and endothelial cells and ADM is induced by hypoxia, oxidative stress, and proinflammatory cytokines [1]. The prognostic value of ADM is described in general patient populations, in medical patients and in particular recently in patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department [2,3]. In surgic...
