Value of Butyrylcholinesterase as a Marker of Surgical Site Infection Following Surgery for Colorectal Diseases


ABSTRACT: Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an α-glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. BchE’s serum level decreases in many clinical conditions such as acute and chronic liver damage, inflammation, injury and infections, and malnutrition. The Investigators prospectively evaluate patients undergoing elective procedures for colorectal diseases. Blood samples are collected preoperatively (at day 0), post-operatively in the recovery room (day 1), and on the subsequent four days (days 2, 3, 4, and 5) for assessment of BChE, C-reactive protein, and white blood cell concentrations. The same surgical team operates all patients and is blinded to the study. Patients are monitored for post-operative infection by using standard laboratory and clinical methods. If surgical site infection (SSI) is suspected the wound is swabbed and empirical antibiotics are started. The aim of the current trial is to study whether BChE is a reliable marker for the presence of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
