Abstract
The present invention relates to a reliable method of prediction of sepsis in humans after a trauma, wherein the level of pancreatic stone protein/regenerating protein (PSP/reg) is determined in serum, and a high level is indicative of the development of sepsis at early stages of the disease. Furthermore a method of determination of PSP/reg levels in serum is described.
