Role of inflammatory response markers in predicting postpartum septic complications

Abstract

The problem of early diagnosis of postpartum purulent-inflammatory diseases and prediction of possible septic complications is highly relevant nowadays. However, due to the prevalence of abortive and asymptomatic clinical forms, timely diagnosis of this pathology remains difficult. In this regard, an important task is to find highly informative markers of inflammatory response that would allow to predict the disease course in the shortest possible time and timely initiate etiotropic therapy. This article presents a review of foreign and domestic literature (Web of Science, e-LIBRARY, Scopus, PubMed, RSCI) for the period 2001–2021 devoted to the study of current inflammatory markers and sepsis diagnostic criteria that play the most important role in the diagnosis of postpartum septic complications. Key words: postpartum endometritis, postpartum purulent-inflammatory complications, sepsis, inflammation, interleukins, fluorescence spectroscopy
