The present invention provides biomarkers and methods that may be used for sepsis prognosis, diagnosis and theronosis in a subject. A method for determining prognosis, diagnosis and theronosis of a sepsis infection in a patient is disclosed that can involve measuring the age, mean arterial pressure, hematocrit, patient temperature, and the concentration of one or more metabolites that are predictive of sepsis severity. The method can involve obtaining a blood sample from said patient and determining the concentration of the metabolite in the patient's blood; and then determining the severity of sepsis infection by analyzing the measured values in a weighted logistic regression equation. Not all of the markers need be assessed in every method only a sufficient number of markers to reliably determine the severity of the disease. Thus, a plurality of indicators can be measured which are selected from the group that includes a patient's age, mean arterial pressure, hematocrit, patient temperature, and the concentration of a metabolite selected from the group of metabolite markers consisting of 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, 4-cis-decenoylcarnitine, butyrylcarnitine, hexanoylcarnitine, 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, 1- arachidonoylglycerophosphocholine, 1-linoleoylglycerophosphocholine, 3-(4- hydroxyphenyl)lactate (HPLA), 3-methoxytyrosine, n-acetylthreonine, pseudouridine and lactate and their combinations.
