Popis: We evaluated the association of procalcitonin (PCT), IL-6-8-10 plasma levels during the first 72h after lung transplantation (LT) with ICU-mortality, oxygenation, primary graft dysfunction (PGD), and one-year graft function after LT.Prospective, observational study. PCT and IL-6-8-10 plasma levels were measured at 24h, 48h and 72h after LT from 100 lung transplant recipients (LTr). Patients were followed until one year after LT. End-points were ICU survival, grade 3 PGD at 72h and one-year graft function.Higher PCT at 24h was associated with lower PaOA breakpoint of PCT2ng/mL within 24h has a high predictive value to exclude grade 3 PGD at 72h and for ICU survival. Moreover, both PCT and IL-10 within 48h were associated with significantly better graft function one year after surgery.
