Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to an infection. Due to the lack of causative immune treatment, mortality of sepsis remains at a high level and represents one of the main disease burdens globally. Adenosine 5' triphosphate (ATP) levels in red blood cells (RBC) are modulated by various factors during sepsis, including a decrease in ATP production, an increase in ATP catabolism and alterations in ATP release. Therefore, we hypothesize that intracellular ATP levels in RBC can serve as potential biomarker for sepsis and support sepsis diagnosis. This will facilitate early treatment and could improve the outcome of this serious condition.
