Plasma prohepcidin as a negative acute phase reactant after large cardiac surgery with a deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Hepcidin is a key regulator of iron metabolism and a mediator of anemia in inflammation. Recent in vitro studies recognized prohepcidin as a type II acute phase protein regulating via interleukin-6. The aim of the present study was to investigate the time course of plasma prohepcidin after a large cardiac surgery in relation to IL-6 and other inflammatory parameters. Patients with chronic throm...
متن کاملPlasma hepcidin correlates positively with interleukin-6 in patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy.
Hepcidin, a recently discovered antimicrobial peptide synthesized in the liver, was identified to be the key mediator of iron metabolism and distribution. Despite our knowledge of hepcidin increased in recent years, there are only limited data on hepcidin regulation during systemic inflammatory response in human subjects. In a prospective study, the time course of plasma hepcidin was analyzed i...
متن کاملVancomycin plasma concentrations in cardiac surgery with the use of profound hypothermic circulatory arrest.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to compare the effect of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, compared with moderate hypothermia, on the plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic profile of vancomycin, administered as prophylaxis, in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS Two groups of adult cardiac surgery patients were prospectively studied. One group c...
متن کاملProhepcidin and Hepcidin in Acute Phase Reaction Accompanying Large Cardiac Surgery
Hepcidin, a small cystein-rech peptide produced by the liver, was first described as an antimicrobial peptide (hepatic bactericidal protein) (Park et al. 2001) and subsequently discovered as a key regulator of iron homeostasis. Via regulation of ferroportin, hepcidin inhibits intestinal iron absorption and iron release from macrophages and hepatocytes (Ganz, 2006; Papanikolaou et al., 2005). He...
متن کاملAcute massive pulmonary embolism treated by thrombo-embolectomy using intermittent deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Acute massive pulmonary embolism is a life threatening medical emergency resulting in a high mortality rate. Usually, urgent thrombo-embolectomy is performed using double venous cannulation without circulatory arrest. We describe a patient suffering from acute massive pulmonary embolism that was treated by emergency thrombo-embolectomy. Due to back-bleeding the view into the lobar and segmental...
