Organ dysfunction in sepsis

Organ dysfunction in sepsis





Organ dysfunction in sepsis

Edited by Satoshi Gando.
Sepsis, systemic inflammatory responses to infection, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Inflammatory cytokines activate leukocytes and deteriorate endothelial cell function. Inflammatory cytokines advance disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), leading to microvascular thrombosis. Both tissue dysoxia caused by endothelial dysfunction and tissue hypoxia caused by microvascular thrombosis are the two main mechanisms of multiple organ dysfunction in sepsis.
In this thematic series, published in Journal of Intensive Care, the authors review the pathophysiology of organ dysfunction in sepsis. The role of two main pathomechanisms of organ dysfunction, DIC and endothelial cell dysfunction, are also discussed.
