Elevated Plasma Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 and Tissue-Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1 Associate With Organ Dysfunction and Mortality in Sepsis
Conclusion:
Elevated plasma concentrations of TIMP-1 associate with organ dysfunction and mortality in sepsis. Higher plasma levels of MMP-3 associate with shock and mortality. Plasma MMP and TIMP-1 may warrant further investigation as emerging sepsis theragnostic biomarkers.
