Abstract
Compositions and methods for detecting sepsis by contacting a subject-derived sample with a ligand that binds to GRK and determining the concentration of GRK in the sample. An increase in the concentration of GRK compared to that of a normal, healthy control sample indicates that the subject from which the sample is obtained is suffering from or at risk of developing sepsis.
