[A study of urine lactulose/mannitol ratio and intestinal fatty acid binding protein as the indexes of intestinal damage in sepsis].
To assess urine lactulose/mannitol ratio (LMR), and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) concentration as the indexes of intestinal damage in septic patients, and to evaluate the clinical severity and mortality of septic patients by use of these indexes. ⋯ This study reveals that patients with sepsis have intestinal mucosal damage and increased intestinal permeability. Increased LMR in urine is associated with clinical severity and prognosis; urine IFABP concentration is not associated with clinical severity and prognosis. Patients with stress ulcer have higher urine IFABP concentration. There is no correlation among IFABP, LMR and gastrointestinal function score.
