Article Synopsis
- Angiotensin II (Ang-II) is crucial in causing microcirculatory dysfunction, especially in patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury, leading to uncertainty about factors affecting its concentration in the early sepsis phase.
- A study measured Ang-II levels in 171 sepsis patients post-antibiotic treatment using various statistical methods to identify correlations with clinical factors.
- Results showed a high median Ang-II concentration, with significant correlations found including kidney replacement therapy and fluid balance, indicating sick patients with kidney treatment had notably higher Ang-II levels compared to those on ECMO.
Purpose: The correct and early diagnosis of an infection is pivotal for patients, especially if the patients are immunocompromised. Various infection markers are used in clinics with different advantages and disadvantages. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a cost effective parameter easily obtained without further investments.
