Pro-inflammatory Role of Blood Platelets in Critically Ill Patients With Septic Shock.

Brief Summary

Blood platelets play a major role in the inflammatory response. A dysregulation of platelets activation may be one of the contributors to tissue damage in critically ill patients with septic shock. The main objective of this study is to compare platelet activation markers levels (including plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1) at the early phase of a septic shock and a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Intervention / Treatment

  • Septic shock (OTHER)
    Plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha, HMGB-1, monocyte Dnases signal, circulating free DNA and DNase1 and DNase1L3 activities will be studied and compared at inclusion (Day 0), Day 1 and Day 5.
  • Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (OTHER)
    Plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha, HMGB-1, monocyte Dnases signal, circulating free DNA and DNase1 and DNase1L3 activities will be studied and compared at inclusion (Day 0), Day 1 and Day 5.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated host response to infection which can lead to many failures of vital organs (kidneys, lungs, liver) in critically ill patients. It is accompanied at an early phase by both a proinflammatory and procoagulant state generating many platelet activators. Given their essential role in the inflammatory response, a dysregulation of platelets activation may be one of the contributors to tissue damage. To determine if platelet activation contribute to deregulation of the inflammatory response of the host in sepsis, the main objective of this study is to compare platelet activation markers levels of patients with septic shock and after major surgery. Plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha, HMGB-1, monocyte Dnases signal, circulating free DNA and DNase1 and DNase1L3 activities will be studied and compared at inclusion (Day 0), Day 1 and Day 5.

Participant Groups

  • Plasma of 100 patients presenting a septic shock will be analysed including plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1

  • Plasma of 100 patient presenting a systemic inflammatory response syndrome = SIRS will be analysed including plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1

Primary Outcomes
  • Plasma concentration in CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1 will be measured in each group by dosage

Secondary Outcomes
  • Monocyte Dnases signal, circulating free DNA and DNase1 and DNase1L3 activities will be measured in each group by dosage

  • Correlation between markers of platelet activation and severity of organ failure will be measured by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. The score varies from 0 to 4.

  • Correlation between markers of platelet activation and inflammatory markers (leukocytes and CRP) will be measured by KDIGO score.The score varies from 1 to 4.

  • Correlation between markers of platelet activation and ISTH score of the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) will be measured by Coagulation Intra Vasculaire Disséminée score. The score varies from \< 5 to ≥ 5 : If score ≥ 5: compatible with a CIVD patent. If score \<5: suggests a latent DIC.

  • Correlation between markers of platelet activation (CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1) and platelet count.

  • Prognostic aspect of markers of platelet activation (CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1) on ICU mortality, hospital mortality, ICU and hospital length of stay, norepinephrine, kidney failure and ventilation free days.

  • Correlation between levels of platelet activation markers studied (CD154, beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, platelet microparticles, soluble CD62, RANTES, GRO-alpha and HMGB-1).
