ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of combined detection of serum calcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6 (IL-6)and C reactive protein(CRP)in early diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods ICU ward diagnosed 89 cases of patients with early sepsis(sepsis group),fever and did not peak use of antibiotics,send blood to blood culture and detection of PCT,IL-6,CRP level,and at the same time to select 132 cases of healthy subjects(healthy control group),blood samples were collected to detect PCT,IL-6,CRP;PCT,IL-6 for the detection of electrochemical luminescence method.The detection of CRP by immunoturbidimetric method.Results ICU patients with sepsis in PCT,IL-6,CRP detection value is significantly higher than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01);combined detection sensitivity and specificity was significantly higher than that of single detection,PCT+ IL-6,PCT+ CRP,PCT+ IL-6-+-CRP sensitivity of three kinds of combined detection were 91.3 ％,90.5％ and 91.9％,the specificity was 89.5％,88.3％ and 89.4％,and accuracy were 85.5％,85.3％ and 85.6％.Conclusion Combined detection of PCT+ IL-6 + CRP or PCT+ IL-6 or PCT+CRP,is helpful to the clinical recognition of early sepsis.
