A new marker for the diagnosis of sepsis: Presepsin

Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that complicates severe infection. It is characterized by the cardinal signs of inflammation (vasodilatation, leukocyte accumulation, increased microvascular permeability) occurring in tissues which are remote from the infection.
The clinical definitions of sepsis are basically nonspecific, often resulting in the delay of the diagnosis. During the last decade, a variety of different molecules have been suggested as clinical biomarkers in sepsis, most of which are still in experimental stage. However, some have came into use in clinical practice and have evolved as valuable tools for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and outcome prediction.
