| Popis: | This article presents an observational randomized prospective study done on 65 patients, who underwent major surgical interventions in the field of orthopedic surgery-total hip replacement or general surgery � total colectomy. The level of albuminemia in these cases were determined before the surgical intervention, after 6 hours of the intervention and after 24 h of the intervention. The measurements of the plasmatic concentration of the pro-inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis factor -alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL6) were simultaneously done with the determination of the plasmatic levels of albumin. Values of hemoglobin and hematocrit were determined 24 h after the surgical procedure in order to exclude hemodilution, which could lead to a possible drop in the levels of plasmatic albumin. After the collection of the data, the statistical work was done and it consisted of descriptive statistics, correlation and comparison tests as well as statistical validation tests. Obtained results indicate that IL-6 plays a major role comparatively with that of TNF-alfa, regarding the decrease of the plasmatic level of albumin, and due to this, the primordial cause for hypoalbuminemia is an acute hepatic phase reaction. Supplemental permeability of the capillary wall under the action of TNF alpha has a secondary role, but could lead to a faster decrease in plasmatic albumin in the first hours after the surgical procedure. |
