[Clinical study of serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and soluble CD14 in severe sepsis patients].
To investigate the changes in serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels in severe sepsis patients, and their relationship with severity and prognosis of patients. ⋯ Significantly elevated serum concentrations of LBP and sCD14 are found in severe sepsis patients. LBP level reflects mainly systemic inflammatory response induced by LPS, and it cannot be used as an indicator of severity of sepsis and prognosis of the patient. In contrast, serum sCD14 level may be used as a prognostic marker in severe sepsis, as it can reflect the severity of sepsis in certain degree.
