Value of Laboratory Biomarkers in Prediction of Outcome in Septic Patients

Sepsis is defined as a dysregulated host response to infection . Despite ongoing efforts, both the incidence and mortality of sepsis have demonstrated limited reductions over the past years,There are several biomarkers that have already been studied for the early diagnosis of sepsis. Some of these markers can be used in risk prediction and monitoring the outcome of sepsis .

Some of these markers as procalcitonin and CD14, are costly and not feasible options for low- and middle-income countries . While other biomarkers are feasible and accessible to be evaluated as Triglyceride\\glucose index (TyG) , Relative Distributive Width of red blood corpuscles to albumin ratio (RAR), C-reactive protein,Neutrophile \\Lympocyte ratio and serum lactate levels .
