Heparin Binding Protein as a Prognostic Biomarker of Sepsis Severity

Heparin Binding Protein as a Reliable Prognostic Biomarker for Severity of Sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit

the aim of the study is to correlate between the severity of sepsis and serum heparin binding protein in the patients admitted to ICU with sepsis., and detect its value as a prognostic biomarker in sepsis
