CRP and LBP levels were similar between study groups irrespective of MODS.IL-6 levels were higher in MODS than SIRS in the first 4 postoperative days.PCT levels were higher in patients with MODS than in those with SIRS.PCT/LPB was higher in patients with MODS with infection than MODS without infection. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
