Elevated plasma levels of endothelin are associated with the severity of sepsis and presence of shock in contrast to the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide
Immunoreactive endothelin (ETi) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANPi) blood levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in patients with clinically defined sepsis. The interaction between these two peptides and their relation to circulatory shock and mortality were studied. All septic patients (n = 16)...
