Ischemia Modified Albumin Can Predict Necrosis at Incarcerated Hernias

چکیده
PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive effect of IMA in incarcerated hernias. METHODS Three groups (n = 7) of rats were operated. Group I aimed to mimic incarceration, group II aimed the strangulation, and group III was the sham group. IMA and LDH measurements were made. RESULTS IMA levels were significantly higher in strangulation mimicking group and IMA levels were normal at postoperative 6th hour in incarceration mimicking group. LDH levels were significantly higher in both incarceration and strangulation mimicking groups. CONCLUSION IMA seems to be an effective marker in incarcerated hernias to predict necrosis. But we need further studies to generalise this hypothesis.

متن کاملParacecal hernia with intestinal ischemia treated with laparoscopic assisted surgery
INTRODUCTION Paracecal hernia is rare, and strangulation with ischemia has been infrequently observed in the limited number of published reports on paracecal hernias. PRESENTATION OF CASE We describe a case of an incarcerated paracecal hernia with resultant ischemic bowel that was successfully treated with laparoscopic-assisted surgery. A 54-year-old man who had not undergone any surgery prev...
متن کاملRichter type of incarcerated obturator hernia; misery still continues.
Obturator hernia is a rare type of hernia which accounts for only 0.07-1.4% of all intra-abdominal hernias and 0.2-5.8% of small-intestinal obstructions. It develops predominantly in elderly underweight women. It has nonspecific early symptoms, so these hernias are usually discovered only after they have become incarcerated. Incarcerated obturator hernias are usually discovered on abdominal com...
متن کاملNeutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts the Severity of Incarcerated Groin Hernia
BACKGROUND The incarceration of a segment of bowel within a groin hernia can result in intestinal strangulation if hernia treatment is delayed. Once intestinal strangulation occurs, a bowel resection may be required, and there is an overall increased risk for postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to identify biomarkers to predict the severity of an incarcerated groin hernia. MA...
متن کاملIschemia-modified albumin use as a prognostic factor in coronary bypass surgery
BACKGROUND Various types of markers have been used so far in order to reveal myocardial perfusion defect. However, these markers usually appear in the necrosis phase or in the late stage. Having been the focus of various investigations recently, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is helpful in establishing diagnosis in the early stages of ischemia, before necrosis develops. METHODS AND RESULTS 3...
