Presepsin is a novel highly effective sepsis marker (Review)

In this review the most effective markers of septic process like Procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and cytokines compared to the new marker – Presepsin (PSP) are analyzed. At sepsis initiation, PSP increases 30 to 60 minutes after the onset of systemic infection. PSP levels at admission to the hospital predict the risk of adverse and adverse effects that other markers used for the diagnosis of sepsis do not have.
