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

University Hospital, Bordeaux202 enrolled

Overview

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).

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Plasma concentration

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

Time frame: Day 0, day 1 and day 5

Secondary Outcomes

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps formation

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

Time frame: Day 0, day 1 and day 5

Markers of platelet activation and severity of organ failure

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.

Time frame: Day 0 and Day 7

Markers of platelet activation and inflammatory markers

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.

Time frame: Day 0 and Day 7

Markers of platelet activation and ISTH score

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.

Time frame: Day 0

Markers of platelet activation and platelet count

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.
