[Multi-organ failure syndrome. Pathophysiology, prevention, treatment].
MOFS Multi-Organ-Failure-Syndrome has not been recognized until past 10 to 20 years. There are many different causes that may lead to MOFS. Recently it has become clear that MOFS is the clinical endstage of the systemic hypermetabolic response to injury that is heralded by acute lung injury and followed by hepatic and renal failure and often by death. The lung injury may range from relatively slight increase of pulmonary small vessels leakage to the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the first part of the following paper there are presented two clinical cases resulted in MOFS. Pathophysiology, current therapy and prophylaxis of MOFS are reviewed in the second part.
