Acute Mesenteric Ischemia
Conditions
Brief summary
Current study will be undertaken to identify combinations of biomarkers that can reliably identify acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) and distinguish between non-transmural and transmural ischaemia. Different combinations of biomarkers for different sub-types and severity of AMI, and different time points of measurement after onset of symptoms.
