PLA2 may mark septic shock severity; leaves open causal contribution and need for interventional trials.
Do serum PLA2 levels correlate with the magnitude and duration of circulatory collapse in patients with septic shock?
High levels of intravascular PLA2 correlate with the magnitude of hypotension and may contribute to circulatory collapse in human septic shock.
Vadas et al. (1988) studied this question.
