Abstract

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease with high mortality. Early diagnosis is critical as early treatment improves outcomes. The protein levels of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), markers of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) activation, were reported increasing rapidly and continuously in the serum of patients with sepsis. Therefore, they might serve as a potential biomarker for sepsis diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the role of GRP78 and CHOP in the diagnosis of patients with sepsis.
