Abstract

Post-traumatic organ failure is common following severe injury and is an important cause of mortality (1). There is much recent interest in the use of circulating cellfree DNA in the plasma for clinical diagnosis (2). We hypothesize that DNA may be liberated from body tissues into the plasma following trauma and that plasma DNA may be a potentially useful monitoring tool for trauma patients.
