Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the evaluating value of thyroid hormone, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in patients with sepsis by analyzing the state of the disease and fatality.

Methods

According to 2008 international guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock, patients were classified into 3 groups: sepsis group, severe sepsis group (including severe sepsis and septic shock patients) and non-systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) group (control group), all the data were analyzed, retrospectively. According to the hospital mortality, the two septic groups were divided into survival group and death group. The plasma thyroid hormone, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels were detected in 24 h after patients in admission.

Results

In the severe sepsis group, levels of FT3, TT3 and TT4 were significantly lower than those in sepsis and control groups (P all < 0.05). In the sepsis group, levels of FT3 and TT3 were lower than those in control group (P all < 0.05). In the sepsis and severe sepsis groups, levels of PCT and CRP were significantly higher than those in control group (P all < 0.05). In the severe sepsis group, the level of PCT was higher than those in sepsis group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the levels of CRP between the two groups. In the death group FT3, TT3 and PCT were significantly higher than those in survival group (P all < 0.05), but the difference of CRP had no significant difference. TSH had no significant difference in all group.

Conclusions

CRP is a useful parameter to differentiate SIRS from non-SIRS, which is not reliable indicator for the early diagnosis in patients with sepsis. PCT and TH are more specific indicators in early diagnosis of sepsis. TH and PCT could be used to predict the severity of sepsis. TH and PCT were significantly relevant to the prognosis of sepsis. TH combined with PCT are hopefully quick, reliable and non-invasive indicators in early evaluation of the prognosis of sepsis.
