Biochemical testing and pathology reveal rare cause of pediatric acute liver failure: Hyperornithinemia‐hyperammonemia‐homocitrullinuria syndrome

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperornithinemia‐hyperammonemia‐homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome is a rare metabolic condition that can cause lethargy, ataxia, tachypnea, nausea, vomiting, seizures, coma, and acute liver failure. We present a 26‐month‐old female with acute liver failure who was diagnosed with HHH 1 week after admission. Histology revealed an acute hepatitic

Procalcitonin as an acute phase marker [PDF]

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, 2001
Procalcitonin is a 14-kDa protein encoded by the Calc-I gene along with calcitonin and katacalcin. The function and regulation of this protein are quite different from those of the other gene products. Blood concentrations of procalcitonin are increased in systemic inflammation, especially when this is caused by bacterial infection.

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Triglyceride‐Glucose Index‐Based Nomogram for Predicting Short‐Term Mortality in Sepsis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, is associated with outcomes in critical illness; however, its predictive role for 28‐day mortality in Asian patients with sepsis has not been established. To address this, the current investigation was designed to evaluate its prognostic significance and to construct a risk ...
