Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining predisposition of a subject to developing renal dysfunction induced by physical trauma, hypotension, sepsis and/or septic shock syndrome, wherein the method comprises the steps of:—a. determining the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine present in a sample taken from the subject prior to physical trauma, prior to a hypotensive event, prior to sepsis, and/or prior to septic shock syndrome; b. determining if the subject is predisposed to developing renal dysfunction following physical trauma, hypotension, sepsis and/or septic shock syndrome on the basis of the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine determined in step a).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing and/or prognosing renal dysfunction. The method comprises the steps of: —(a) determining the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine present in a urine sample from a subject prior to physical trauma, prior to a hypotensive event, prior to sepsis, and/or prior to septic shock syndrome; (b) determining the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine present in a urine sample from the subject following physical trauma, following or during a hypotensive event, following or during sepsis, and/or following or during septic shock syndrome; (c) calculating the difference between the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine determined in step a) from the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine determined in step b), and (d) providing a diagnosis and/or prognosis on the basis of a comparison between the difference calculated in step c) and the difference calculated in step c) when steps a) and b) are practiced on a control group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for a method for predicting the development of renal dysfunction in a subject following physical trauma, hypotension, sepsis and/or septic shock syndrome, wherein the method comprises the steps of: —a. determining the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine present in a sample taken from the subject after physical trauma, after a hypotensive event, after sepsis, and/or after septic shock syndrome; b. predicting the development in the subject of renal dysfunction on the basis of the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine determined in step a).
