Abstract: The invention relates to a method of therapy guidance, stratification and/or monitoring of fluid therapy based on proadrenomedullin (proADM) levels. The invention therefore relates to a method for therapy guidance, stratification and/or monitoring of a fluid therapy, comprising providing a sample of said patient, determining a level of pro adrenomedullin (proADM) or fragment(s) thereof in said sample, wherein said level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof indicates the prescription of fluid therapy to be administered to the patient. The invention further relates to methods for guiding fluid therapy volume and to methods of treating disease using fluid therapy based on the proADM stratification of patients based on the methods described herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment guidance, treatment monitoring, risk assessment and/or risk stratification of patients with abnormal platelet levels comprising providing a sample of said patient, determining a level of proadrenomedullin (proADM) or fragment(s) thereof in said sample, wherein said level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof correlates with the abnormal platelet levels in said patient. In embodiments of the invention, a level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof of high severity indicates low platelet levels in the subject and subsequent initiating or modifying a treatment of the patient to improve said condition. In some embodiments of the invention the method comprises determining a level of one or more additional markers in a sample isolated from the patient, such as the level of platelets, the level of PCT or fragment(s) thereof, one or more markers of thrombocytopenia and/or one or more markers of an inflammatory response.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of clinical diagnostics. Particularly, the present invention relates to the assessment of severity of a subject being suspected of an infection or having an infection, who may have physiological signs or increased risk factors for infection, in particular from an infectious disease by determination of the levels of Procalcitonin (hereinafter: PCT) (SEQ ID No: 1 and/or proadrenomedullin (hereinafter: proADM)) (SEQ ID No: 3) or a partial peptide or fragment thereof, in particular midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) (SEQ ID No: 2), in a sample of a patient and the invention is related to a workflow hereto. Moreover, the invention refers to the assessment related to an infection like ruling out/in a patient and stratification, risk assessment, in particular to avoid rehospitalisation and hospital and post-discharge mortality.

Abstract: A method for sample preparation for antibiotic therapy guidance, stratification and/or control in a patient with one or more comorbidities comprising an impaired innate immune response and suspected of having an infection. Also, a method for sample preparation for antibiotic therapy guidance, stratification and/or control in a patient with one or more comorbidities comprising an impaired innate immune response. The method comprises providing a sample from said patient and determining a level of PCT or fragment(s) thereof in said sample, wherein the level of PCT or fragment(s) thereof in said sample is indicative of whether an initiation or a change of an antibiotic treatment is required.

Abstract: A method for therapy monitoring, comprising: the prognosis, risk assessment and/or risk stratification of a subsequent adverse event in the health of a patient; providing a sample of said patient, wherein the patient was diagnosed as critically ill and medical treatment initiated, wherein the sample is isolated from the patient after diagnosis and treatment initiation; determining a level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof in said sample, wherein said level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof correlates with the likelihood of a subsequent adverse event in the health of said patient. In a preferred embodiment the invention relates to a method comprising additionally determining a level of procalcitonin (PCT) or fragment(s) thereof in a sample isolated from the patient. Optionally, further determining a level of PCT or fragment(s) thereof in samples isolated from the patient and using the PCT levels also in the prognosis, risk assessment and/or risk stratification.

Abstract: A method for antibiotic therapy guidance, stratification and/or control in a patient suffering from an infectious disease and receiving treatment with one or more antibiotic agents. The method comprises isolating a first and subsequently second sample from said patient and initiating antibiotic treatment, determining levels of procalcitonin (PCT) or fragment(s) thereof in both samples, and determining a level of proadrenomedullin (proADM) or fragment(s) thereof in at least the second sample, wherein the levels of PCT or fragment(s) thereof in said samples, and the level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof in the second sample, indicate whether a change in the treatment with one or more antibiotic agents is required. The method may comprise additionally determining a level of proADM or fragment(s) thereof in the first sample. Changes in the proADM and PCT levels between the first and second samples may indicate a need for changing the antibiotic treatment.
