Critical polytrauma patients present a series of pathophysiological disturbances, biochemical and molecular dysfunction, which comprise to be the major cause of intensive care unit admission. In regard to molecular damage, there exists a series of factors, which all together contribute to the aggravation of the clinical status leading to increased mortality rate in these patients. One of the most important biochemical factors involved is the nuclear transcription factor B (NF-κB). Impaired NF-κB functioning is reflected on the clinical status of the patient through increased production of pro-inflammatory molecule, leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In addition to this, through microRNAs interactions, various pathophysiological as well as biochemical disturbances are produced, which altogether further reduce the patient’s survival rate. In this paper, we would like to present the modifications seen in the expression of NF-κB in critically polytraumatized patients with sepsis. In additions to this, we would like to discuss the correlation between the microRNAs and its further implications in clinical status of these patients.
