The authors submit the results of the follow-up of the dynamics of 10 acute stage plasma proteins (up to the 7th day) in two surgical model situations: 1. planned operation of colorectal carcinoma by an intraabdominal approach and 2. operation of extensive varicosities of the lower extremities. As reference groups 3. healthy subjects (blood donors) were used and 4. patients with developed postoperative sepsis. Based on the results, the authors provide evidence of the asset of some selected indicators they assessed such as transferrin, prealbumin, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) and C reactive protein, for the early diagnosis of postoperative septic complications.
