The effects of activated protein C on the sepsis syndrome

El sistema de la proteína C activada en el cuadro séptico

Main Article Content

Carlos Hugo Escobar Soto

Abstract

The concepts on the pathophysiology of the clinical manifestations of sepsis have changed dramatically during recent years due to the development ofknowledge and techniques in molecular biology. Aproof of this is the approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the use of recombinant forms of activated protein C. This review attempts to analyze the overall state ofknowledge regarding the role activated protein C and its response system play on the sepsis syndrome.
