Diagnostic value of assessment of Serum Cortisol, Hepcidin and Thyroid Hormone Levels in Neonates with Late Onset Sepsis.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Neonates with high probable sepsis had significantly higher serum cortisol and hepcidin and significantly lower free TT3 and free TT4 compared with healthy neonates. These findings may arouse our attention about the use of these markers in diagnosis of in neonatal sepsis which can lead to early treatment and subsequently better prognosis.
