Acute phase proteins for the diagnosis of bacterial infection and prediction of mortality in acute complications of cirrhosis.
Annals of Hepatology(2013)
Abstract
Introduction. Bacterial infection is a frequent complication in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and is related to high mortality rates during follow-up of these individuals. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnosing infection and to investigate the relationship between these biomarkers and mortality after hospital admission.
