Abstract
Objective: To investigate variability of serum ferritin levels in patients with septic shock. Subject and method: 120 patients diagnosed with septic shock treated at the Intensive Care Center and Infectious Resuscitation Department of 108 Military Central Hospital from April 2023 to October 2023, were followed up for changes in serum ferritin levels at the time of diagnosis of septic shock (T0); day 1 (T1), day 3 (T3) and day 7 (T7) compared to day T0. Result: Serum ferritin levels increased early at T0 which was 912.2 (699.4-1455.8) ng/ml and highest at time point T1 923.8 (696.2-1441.8) ng/ml and gradually decreased at time T3, T7. Serum ferritin levels at time T0, T1, T3 showed a difference between the two groups of survivors and non-survivors (p<0.05). Conclusion: Serum ferritin increased levels at the time of diagnosis of septic shock, highest on the first day, then gradually decreased. Elevated ferritin levels were statistically significant in the group of non-survivors due to septic shock.
