Characterization of ADAMTS13 and von Willebrand factor levels in septic and non-septic ICU patients
Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening disease characterized by excessive host response to infection that can lead to activation of the coagulation system. Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and ADAMTS13 are important regulators of hemostasis and their dysregulation during sepsis progression is not well understood.
