Journal ArticleDOI

Reliability of Procalcitonin Concentrations for the Diagnosis of Sepsis in Critically Ill Neonates

TL;DR: Procalcitonin is a promising marker for the diagnosis of early- and late-onset sepsis in neonates at high risk for this infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin-6, and Procalcitonin in the Immediate Postnatal Period: Influence of Illness Severity, Risk Status, Antenatal and Perinatal Complications, and Infection

TL;DR: Early-onset neonatal infection was associated with significant increases in CRP, IL-6, and PCT concentrations at all three time points, independent of illness severity, but among babies without infection, higher SNAP and SNAP-PE scores were associated with higher IL- 6 concentrations at birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis: A Clinical and Laboratory Challenge

TL;DR: The evaluation of tests for neonatal sepsis is important because the infection may present a very serious threat to the baby and the result of a diagnostic test must be evaluated in the light of the clinical condition of the baby.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sarcopenia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a causal relationship.

TL;DR: NAFLD, particularly its histological phenotype non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can progress to advanced liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and indication for liver transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

C reactive protein and procalcitonin: reference intervals for preterm and term newborns during the early neonatal period.

TL;DR: Age- and GA-specific reference ranges for both CRP and PCT should be taken into account to optimize their use in the diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis.
