Intraoperative hyperglycemia during liver resection: predictors and association with the extent of hepatocytes injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients undergoing liver resection are at risk for intraoperative hyperglycemia and acute hyperglycemia is known to induce hepatocytes injury. Thus, we aimed to evaluate whether intraoperative hyperglycemia during liver resection is associated with the extent of hepatic injury.

Methods

This 1 year retrospective observation consecutively enrolled 85 patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma. Blood glucose concentrations were measured at predetermined time points including every start/end of intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion (IHIO) via arterial blood analysis. Postoperative transaminase concentrations were used as surrogate parameters indicating the extent of surgery-related acute hepatocytes injury.

Results

Thirty (35.5%) patients developed hyperglycemia (blood glucose > 180 mg/dl) during surgery. Prolonged (≥ 3 rounds) IHIO (odds ratio [OR] 7.34, P = 0.004) was determined as a risk factors for hyperglycemia as well as cirrhosis (OR 4.07, P = 0.022), lower prothrombin time (OR 0.01, P = 0.025), and greater total cholesterol level (OR 1.04, P = 0.003). Hyperglycemia was independently associated with perioperative increase in transaminase concentrations (aspartate transaminase, β 105.1, standard error 41.7, P = 0.014; alanine transaminase, β 81.6, standard error 38.1, P = 0.035). Of note, blood glucose > 160 or 140 mg/dl was not associated with postoperative transaminase concentrations.

Conclusions

Hyperglycemia during liver resection might be associated with the extent of hepatocytes injury. It would be rational to maintain blood glucose concentration < 180 mg/dl throughout the surgery in consideration of parenchymal disease, coagulation status, lipid profile, and the cumulative hepatic ischemia in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hyperglycemia can lead to an increased rate of apoptosis of microglial cells and to damaged neurons. The relation between hyperglycemia and cerebrovascular markers on MRI is unknown. Our aim was to study the association between intraoperative hyperglycemia and cerebrovascular markers. METHODS: In this further analysis of a subgroup investigation of the BIOCOG study, 65 older non-demented patients (median 72 years) were studied who underwent elective surgery of ≥ 60 minutes. Intraoperative blood glucose maximum was determined retrospectively in each patient. In these patients, preoperatively and at 3 months follow-up a MRI scan was performed and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume and shape, infarcts, and perfusion parameters were determined. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine associations between preoperative cerebrovascular markers and occurrence of intraoperative hyperglycemia. Linear regression analyses were performed to assess the relation between intraoperative hyperglycemia and pre- to postoperative changes in WMH volume. Associations between intraoperative hyperglycemia and postoperative WMH volume at 3 months follow-up were also assessed by linear regression analyses. RESULTS: Eighteen patients showed intraoperative hyperglycemia (glucose maximum ≥ 150 mg/dL). A preoperative more smooth shape of periventricular and confluent WMH was related to the occurrence of intraoperative hyperglycemia [convexity: OR 33.318 (95 % CI (1.002 - 1107.950); p = 0.050]. Other preoperative cerebrovascular markers were not related to the occurrence of intraoperative hyperglycemia. Intraoperative hyperglycemia showed no relation with pre- to postoperative changes in WMH volume nor with postoperative WMH volume at 3 months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: We found that a preoperative more smooth shape of periventricular and confluent WMH was related to the occurrence of intraoperative hyperglycemia. These findings may suggest that a similar underlying mechanism leads to a certain pattern of vascular brain abnormalities and an increased risk of hyperglycemia.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the long-lasting notion about the substantial contribution of intraoperative un-stabilization of homeostasis factors on the incidence on acute kidney injury (AKI), the possible influence of intraoperative glucose or lactate management, as a modifiable factor, on the development of AKI remains inconclusive.ObjectivesTo investigated the relationship between intraoperative hyperglycemia, hyperlactatemia, and postoperative AKI in cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among 4,435 adult patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery from July 2019 to March 2022. Intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were defined as blood glucose levels >10 mmol/L and lactate levels >2 mmol/L, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI. All statistical analyses, including t tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, logistic regression models, subgroup analyses, collinearity analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis, were performed using the statistical software program R version 4.1.1.ResultsAmong the 4,435 patients in the ﬁnal analysis, a total of 734 (16.55%) patients developed AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery. All studied intraoperative metabolic disorders was associated with increased AKI risk, with most pronounced odds ratio (OR) noted for both hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were present intraoperatively [adjusted OR 3.69, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.68-5.13, p < 0.001]. Even when hyperglycemia or hyperlactatemia was present alone, the risk of postoperative AKI remained elevated (adjusted OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.50-2.60, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe presence of intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia may be associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Proper and timely interventions for these metabolic disorders are crucially important in mitigating the risk of AKI.
