Description
Thorben Pape and co-authors test a blood marker of gut injury in very ill patients in a 2026 study. In septic shock, blood flow to the gut often drops, but the harm is hard to spot early. The marker, a protein released by hurt gut cells, was measured when patients entered intensive care.
Data pooled 102 shock or lung failure patients, plus comparison groups. A cut-off level sorted patients with true gut blood loss well. Levels in the shock group ran as high as in patients with proven gut ischemia. Patients above the cut-off died within a month far more often, about 53 percent against 33 percent. The marker held its link to death after other scores were counted.
