Multiple organ dysfunction associated with sepsis-like trait in severe compromised patients is characterized by elevated plasma levels of IL-6, IL-7, TNF-α IP-10 (IFN-γ-induced protein 10), C reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimers, fibrin-degradation products that have been associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (48,49). Here, CRP is linked to Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
