Changes in Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Level in Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock [PDF]
Background Despite many ongoing, prospective studies on the topic, sepsis still remains one of the main causes of death in hospital. The hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has a similar molecular structure to that of insulin.
