Applications of proteomics in SIRS and sepsis

Sepsis,the systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)induced by infection,is the first cause of death of patients in intensive care unit. Early diagnosis of sepsis with the actions of corresponding treatment can improve the prognosis of sepsis.It is an appropriate way to achieve early diagnosis of sepsis that using proteomics methods to detect unknown proteins during early stage of sepsis,in which we search for new protein biomarkers. Key words: Sepsis; Systemic inflammatory response syndrome; Proteomies
