PATHFAST Presepsin
PATHFAST Presepsin is a chemiluminescent
enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative
measurement of presepsin concentration in
whole blood or plasma. PATHFAST Presepsin
can be used as an aid in the diagnosis and
prognosis of sepsis, in the assessment of
the degree of septic severity, and in the risk
stratication of critically ill septic patients.
|ntroductlon
CDl4 ls a glycoproteln expressed on the membrane surface of
monocytes/macrophages and serves as a receptor for com-
plexes of llpopolysaccharldes (LPS) and LPS blndlng proteln
(LP8), actlvatlng the toll-llke receptor 4 (TLP4) speclc pro-
lnnammatory slgnallng cascade on contact wlth lnfectlous
agents. Slmultaneously, CDl4 ls shed from the cell membrane
lnto the clrculatlon formlng soluble CDl4 (sCDl4). How ever,
plasma protease actlvlty generates also another sCDl4 mole-
cule called sCDl4 subtype (sCDl4-ST) or presepsln.
l
The levels
of presepsln were slgnlcantly hlgher ln septlc patlents than
ln patlents wlth S|PS or appearently healthy lndlvlduals.

Presepsln levels were elevated earller than |L-6 and D-dlmer
along wlth occurrence of blood bacterla ln anlmal model.
The determlnatlon of the presepsln concentratlon can be
used for dlagnosls and prognosls of sepsls and also to monltor
the course of the dlsease.

Larly dlagnosls and prognosls
|n a reference range study presepsln concentratlons were de-
termlned ln LDTA plasma samples from ll9 healthy lndlvlduals
(age: 2l 69 years, 60 females and 59 males).
Arlthmetrlc mean: l60 pg/ml (95% C|: 48 l7l pg/ml),
95th percentlle: 320 pg/ml (no lnnuence of age and gender).

The presepsln values were determlned at presentatlon ln the
emergency department ln patlents wlth sepsls.
Quartlles of presepsln showed a strong assoclatlon wlth the
30 day mortallty:

Dlsease monltorlng
Presepsln was measured at presentatlon, at 24 hours and at
72 hours after admlsslon. |n patlents wlth favorable outcome
wlthln 30 days after admlsslon (nl04) presepsln levels de-
creased from basellne to 72 hours. |n the patlent group who
experlenced adverse outcome (n36), presepsln levels showed
an lncreaslng tendency.
Por emergency and lntenslve care use
PATHPAST Presepsln can be measured out of whole blood and
ls due to the fast turn around tlme and hlgh prognostlc power
already at admlsslon sultable for the use ln emergency and
lntenslve care unlts.
Sample material:
