Popis: Background Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α) released during liver transplantation may affect hemodynamic stability. The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β and systemic vascular resistance during the phases of liver transplantation. Material and methods The proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were analyzed in the blood of 20 consecutive patients who underwent transplantation. Blood samples were drawn from the pulmonary artery at serial times during surgery. Hemodynamic parameters were determined using a cardiac output monitor. Correlations between parameters were analyzed using the Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau-b methods. Results Both in the vena cava and the pulmonary artery, significant association was observed between basal values of IL-6 during hepatectomy and systemic vascular resistance during the phases of liver transplantation: hepatectomy phase (r = .76, P = .02), anhepatic phase (r = .78, P = .03) and reperfusion phase (r = .87, P = .005). Conclusions Basal values of IL-6 may be considered a prognostic factor for hemodynamic performance during the phases of liver transplantation.
