Correlation Between Microbial Toxin Levels and Biochemical Markers of Organ Damage in ICU Patients
Microbial toxin burden demonstrates a strong association with biochemical evidence of organ injury and disease severity in ICU patients. Combined toxin-biomarker profiling may have prognostic value for identifying high-risk patients, but its clinical application requires validation through larger multicentre studies with serial sampling before widespread adoption.
