Abstract
The severity of a disease influences the consumption of
costly healthcare resources including the need for intensive
care admission and suitability for discharge. Therefore,
there is a potential need for rapidly available biomarkers
to predict the disease severity and finally outcome [1].
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) produced by hypothalamic
neurons is stored andreleasedfrom the posterior pituitary
gland following different stimuli such as hypotension,
hypoxia, hyperosmolarity, acidosis, and infections, and it
is claimed to be a sensitive marker in these situations [2].
