Prognostic value of serum cholinesterase activity in the septic shock due to bacterial infections

, , , , ,

Overview

Abstract
Context: Kinetics of SChE activity analyses, in our knowledge, was not previously studied in the prediction of prognosis of patients with septic shock.
Objective: We aimed to analyse kinetics of SChE activity in 4 patients with septic shock.
Materials and methods: Prospective study.
Results: The kinetics analyses of SChE activity showed that SChE activity was correlated with the prognosis (decrease in deads and increase in survivors).
Discussion and conclusion: The kinetics of SChE activity can be used as a biomarker to
predict the prognosis of patients with septic shock.
