The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical utility of sCD163 in septic patients in comparison to other parameters associated with infections, mainly PCT, CRP and IL-18. Methods: Serum samples were obtained from 40 septic patients on the ICU admission day, 3rd and 5th study days. The control group consisted of 30 healthy volunteers from whom the specimen was collected once. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the concentrations of sCD163 and IL-18. CRP and PCT records, among others, were provided by the hospital. Results: Septic shock was associated with the highest concentrations of sCD163 and IL-18. Admission values of sCD163 significantly contributed to mortality prediction in septic patients. Conclusions: The concentration of sCD163 determined on the ICU admission day may potentially be utilized in estimation of the odds of death among septic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20032263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]],"date-time":"2023-01-30T03:31:11Z","timestamp":1675049471000},"page":"2263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Alterations in Serum Concentration of Soluble CD163 within Five Study Days from ICU Admission Are Associated with In-Hospital Mortality of Septic Patients\u2014A Preliminary Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9640-4883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Mierzcha\u0142a-Pasierb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Immunochemistry, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Lipi\u0144ska-Gediga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Lewandowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Immunochemistry, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Krzystek-Korpacka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Immunochemistry, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"801","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.0287","article-title":"The third international consensus definitions for sepsis and septic shock (sepsis-3)","volume":"315","author":"Singer","year":"2016","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.imbio.2005.05.010","article-title":"The macrophage scavenger receptor CD163","volume":"210","author":"Fabriek","year":"2005","journal-title":"Immunobiology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523652","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/523652","article-title":"The haptoglobin-CD163-heme oxygenase-1 pathway for hemoglobin scavenging","volume":"2013","author":"Thomsen","year":"2013","journal-title":"Oxid.
