To describe the concentrations of sTREM-1 in patients with sepsis and to explore the effects of their serum on the expression of TREM-1 on U937 monocytes. ⋯ Levels of sTREM-1 correlated with sepsis severity. sTREM-1 is considerably higher in patients with shock compared to patients without shock. The serum of shocked patients could stimulate the expression of TREM-1 on U937 monocytes.
