Anemia profile in critical septic patients hospitalized in the ICU. Critical Care. 2011;15(Suppl. 1):S1491364-8535http://hdl.handle.net/10668/873This article is part of the supplement: 31st International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency MedicineThe aim was to describe the anemia profile of medical or surgical patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in the ICU, assessing severity scale, length of stay and mortality. The prevalence of microcytic anemia is more than one-half of our septic patients. There are iron metabolism disorders without significant differences between medical and surgical patients. Transferrin, a protein related to malnutrition, inflammatory response and organ dysfunction, is significantly lower in the most severe patients with higher organ dysfunction scores.enShock, SepticMultiple Organ FailureOrgan Dysfunction ScoresTransferrinLength of StayMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Hemic and Lymphatic Diseases::Hematologic Diseases::AnemiaMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Physiological Phenomena::Nutritional Physiological Phenomena::Nutritional StatusMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Disease Attributes::Critical IllnessMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Facilities, Manpower, and Services::Health Services::Patient Care::Critical Care::Intensive CareMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Immune System Phenomena::ImmunityMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::Humansconference presentationRestricted AccessAnemiaEstado NutricionalEnfermedad CríticaCuidados Intensivos10.1186/cc98411466-609X
