Piotr Czempik: Uremia’s Impact on Platelet Function and ICU Mortality in Sepsis
Piotr Czempik, Chair of Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at Medical University of Silesia, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleague co-authored, adding:
”I’m pleased to share my latest publication: ‘Impact of uremia on platelet contribution to clot strength assessed with rotational thromboelastometry: A retrospective cohort study in septic patients’.
Key findings include the following:
- uremia is linked to impaired platelet contribution to clot strength
- this impairment may have prognostic significance
- ROTEM‑derived platelet contribution is an independent predictor of short‑term ICU mortality.
These results highlight the value of integrating viscoelastic testing and a more nuanced assessment of renal dysfunction into sepsis evaluation.”
