Abstract:
Innovative treatments have enhanced the understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis. An understanding of the underlying nature of the disorder is necessary to develop new therapies and determine their roles in treating patients with sepsis. By studying and determining the interactions among the inflammatory, coagulation, and fibrinolytic pathways, investigators have discovered exciting new areas of research into the mechanisms of tissue injury in sepsis.
