Urinary Orosomucoid (α-1-Acid Glycoprotein) As A Single Potential Biomarker Through PET Assay for Diagnosis of Early Onset Sepsis in Neonates: A Review
Abstract:Neonatal sepsis is a condition in which bacteria are present in an infant’s sterile body fluids. It is considered one of the most common causes of infant death, with nearly one million deaths per birthday and approximately 2 million deaths in the first week of life. To aid in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis, a potential new biomarker for early neonatal sepsis called orosomucoid (ORM) or α1-glycoprotein (α1AGP) in urine is being evaluated because of its greater accuracy than current diagnostic tools.
