[Reduced plasma fibronectin in patients with sepsis and shock (author's transl)].
Plasma fibronectin concentrations were determined in 16 patients with sepsis and shock. In all patients a definite decrease was observed during the course of the disease which did not correlate with coagulative function. Fibronectin in plasma rose to normal levels with improvement in the clinical picture. It is possible that plasma fibronectin indicates the functioning of the reticuloendothelial system.
