EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSTIC EFFECTIVENESS OF HEMOGRAM, BIOCHEMISTRY AND INFLAMMATORY MARKERS (IMMATURE GRANULOCYTE, PROCALCITONIN, CRP, NLR, PLR) IN PATIENTS WITH SEPSIS

Abstract

Aim This study aimed to reveal the contributions of hemogram values and inflammatory markers involved in the pathology and progression of sepsis, and other biochemical markers such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, delta neutrophil index (immature granulocyte), calcium and zinc levels to the diagnosis of sepsis, and the relationship of these markers with each other. Material and Method This is a descriptive epidemiological study. Patients aged 18 years and over who were diagnosed with sepsis in the Emergency Department and Internal Diseases Service of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü Imam University Medical Faculty Hospital between 11.10.2022 - 11.06.2023 were prospectively included in the study. Results In our study, it was found that leukocyte, neutrophil, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, immature granulocyte, copper, phosphorus, blood glucose, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin values were high in patients with sepsis. The levels of albumin, calcium, zinc and lymphocyte were found to be low. Conclusion The use of biomarkers in sepsis has increasingly become important in diagnosing, following treatment, determining prognosis and predicting mortality. The biomarkers examined in this study are believed to be a reference for future studies on their use in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis follow-up of sepsis.
