Abstract

Background:-It is a very serious condition known asbacterial sepsis, which has a high incidenceand death rates; the prognosis worsens withlate diagnosis and treatment. The difficultyin recognizing sepsis patients arises from thelack of reliable diagnostic markers. The
recently studied ‘neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin’ has proven to be useful
