Sepsis, a life-threatening condition characterized by organ dysfunction, results from a complex series of pathophysiological mechanisms including immune dysfunction, an uncontrolled inflammatory response, and coagulation abnormalities. It is a major contributor to global mortality and severe disease development. Platelets, abundant in the circulatory system, are sensitive to changes in the body's internal environment and are among the first cells to respond to dysregulated pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant reactions at the onset of sepsis. In the initial stages of sepsis, the coagulation cascade, inflammatory response, and endothelial tissue damage perpetually trigger platelet activation. These activated platelets then engage in complex inflammatory and immune reactions, potentially leading to organ dysfunction. Therefore, further research is essential to fully understand the role of platelets in sepsis pathology and to develop effective therapeutic strategies targeting the associated pathogenic pathways. This review delves into the involvement of platelets in sepsis and briefly outlines the clinical applications of associated biomarkers.

Background: In patients with sepsis, platelets are activated and adhere to neutrophils, forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) that lead to the development of MODS. ARDS is one of the main manifestations of septic MODS. We designed this study to explore the effects of different anti-plate therapy drugs on platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation in the early stage of septic ARDS.

Background: The platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) grade is a comprehensive assessment index of liver function. Liver dysfunction is a key determinant of the pathogenesis and resolution of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which affects the prognosis of patients.
Aims: To evaluate the association of PALBI grade with the risk of 30-day mortality in patients with ARDS.

Sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among the various types of end-organ damage associated with sepsis, hepatic injury is linked to significantly higher mortality rates compared to dysfunction in other organ systems. This study aimed to investigate potential biomarkers of hepatic injury in sepsis patients through a multi-center, case-control approach.

Background Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by multiple organ dysfunction. Blood cells abnormalities play a significant role in the onset and progression of sepsis; however, the potential causal relationship between platelets and sepsis remains unclear, as does whether immune cells mediate the interaction between platelets and sepsis. This study aims to explore the potential causal relationship between platelets and sepsis and analyze the mediating effect of immune cells.

Sepsis-induced thrombocytopenia (SIT) is a widely accepted predictor of poor prognosis during sepsis, while the mechanism of SIT remains elusive. In this study, we revealed that SIT patients and septic mice exhibited higher levels of pro-inflammatory macrophages and phosphorylated BTK (p-BTK) expression in macrophages, which were closely correlated with platelet counts. Treatment with the BTK inhibitor, BGB-3111 in SIT mice resulted in enhanced production of megakaryocytes and platelets.
