Correlation Between Release of Cytokines From Liver Graft and Hemodynamic Instability

NCT01120743 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary goal of this project is to identify the source of cytokines that are released into circulation during graft reperfusion. Seventeen patients scheduled to have adult cadaveric liver transplantation at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center were contacted as prospective participants. Blood samples were obtained from the radial artery, the portal vein, and from the graft irrigation. The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines was verified and compared with the amount of catecholamines used to maintain hemodynamic stability.
