METHOD AND KIT FOR ESTABLISHING, IN VITRO, A PROGNOSIS OF SEVERITY IN A SEPTIC SHOCK PATIENT

摘要

The invention concerns a method for establishing, in vitro, a prognosis of severity in a septic shock patient, comprising the following steps: (i) using a biological sample taken from said patient, measuring, in vitro, the level of expression of the expression product of at least one gene chosen from the lilrb2 and lilrb1 genes, (ii) comparing the level of expression of the expression product of said at least one gene with a control level of expression of the expression product of the same gene indicating a good prognosis of severity, in which a level of expression of the expression product of said at least one gene that is lower than said control level of expression indicates a poor prognosis of severity for the patient, and a kit for implementing the method.
