Brief Summary: A progressive decline of plasma triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 TREM-1 concentration indicates a favorable clinical evolution during the recovery phase of sepsis The expression of TREM-1 in dialysate of peritoneal dialysis patients was not yet documented We will collect the dialysate of peritonitis in peritoenal dialysis patients and analyze the time serial change
Detailed Description: The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 TREM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and its expression is upregulated on phagocytic cells in the presence of bacteria or fungi 1 Several experiments by Bouchon and colleagues showed that TREM-1 mediates the acute inflammatory response to microbial products Human tissues infected with bacteria are infiltrated with neutrophils and macrophages that express high levels of TREM-1 Conversely TREM-1 is only weakly expressed in samples from patients with noninfectious inflammatory disorders In addition TREM-1 is shed from the membrane of activated phagocytes and can be found in a soluble form in body fluids The presence of a soluble form of TREM-1 in samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mechanically ventilated patients has been shown to be a good indicator of infectious pneumonia During sepsis a progressive decline of plasma sTREM-1 concentration indicates a favorable clinical evolution during the recovery phase of sepsis In addition baseline sTREM-1 level may prove useful in predicting outcome of septic patients We will collect the dialysate of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients and analyze the time serials change
