ABSTRACT

La sepsis es un problema global de salud y la progresión hacia el shock séptico se asocia con un incremento marcado de la morbimortalidad. En este escenario, el aumento del lactato plasmático demostró ser un indicador de gravedad y un predictor de mortalidad, y suele interpretarse casi exclusivamente como marcador de baja perfusión tisular. Sin embargo, últimamente se produjo un cambio de paradigma en la exégesis del metabolismo y propiedades biológicas del lactato. En efecto, la adaptación metabólica al estrés, aun con adecuado aporte de oxígeno, puede justificar la elevación del lactato circulante. Asimismo, otras consecuencias fisiopatológicas de la sepsis, como la disfunción mitocondrial, se asocian con el desarrollo de hiperlactatemia sin que necesariamente se acompañen de baja perfusión tisular. Interpretar el origen y la función del lactato puede resultar de suma utilidad clínica en la sepsis, especialmente cuando sus niveles circulantes fundamentan las medidas de reanimación.


Sepsis is a global health problem; progression to septic shock is associated with a marked increase in morbidity and mortality. In this setting, increased plasma lactate levels demonstrated to be an indicator of severity and a predictor of mortality, and are usually interpreted almost exclusively as a marker of low tissue perfusion. However, a recent paradigm shift has occurred in the exegesis of lactate metabolism and its biological properties. Indeed, metabolic adaptation to stress, even with an adequate oxygen supply, may account for high circulating lactate levels. Likewise, other pathophysiological consequences of sepsis, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, are associated with the development of hyperlactatemia, which is not necessarily accompanied by low tissue perfusion. Interpreting the origin and function of lactate may be of great clinical utility in sepsis, especially when circulating lactate levels are the basis for resuscitative measures.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: A definição atual de sepse grave e choque séptico inclui um perfil heterogêneo de pacientes. Embora o valor prognóstico de hiperlactatemia seja bem estabelecido, ela está presente em pacientes com ou sem choque. Nosso objetivo foi comparar o prognóstico de pacientes sépticos estratificando-os segundo dois fatores: hiperlactatemia e hipotensão persistente. Métodos: Este estudo é uma análise secundária de um estudo observacional conduzido em dez hospitais no Brasil (Rede Amil - SP). Pacientes sépticos com valor inicial de lactato das primeiras 6 horas do diagnóstico foram incluídos e divididos em 4 grupos segundo hiperlactatemia (lactato >4mmol/L) e hipotensão persistente: (1) sepse grave (sem ambos os critérios); (2) choque críptico (hiperlactatemia sem hipotensão persistente); (3) choque vasoplégico (hipotensão persistente sem hiperlactatemia); e (4) choque disóxico (ambos os critérios). Resultados: Foram analisados 1.948 pacientes, e o grupo sepse grave constituiu 52% dos pacientes, seguido por 28% com choque vasoplégico, 12% choque disóxico e 8% com choque críptico. A sobrevida em 28 dias foi diferente entre os grupos (p<0,001), sendo maior para o grupo sepse grave (69%; p<0,001 versus outros), semelhante entre choque críptico e vasoplégico (53%; p=0,39) e menor para choque disóxico (38%; p<0,001 versus outros). Em análise ajustada, a sobrevida em 28 dias permaneceu diferente entre os grupos (p<0,001), sendo a maior razão de risco para o grupo choque disóxico (HR=2,99; IC95% 2,21-4,05). Conclusão: A definição de pacientes com sepse inclui quatro diferentes perfis, se considerarmos a presença de hiperlactatemia. Novos estudos são necessários para melhor caracterizar pacientes sépticos e gerar conhecimento ...


Objective: The current definition of severe sepsis and septic shock includes a heterogeneous profile of patients. Although the prognostic value of hyperlactatemia is well established, hyperlactatemia is observed in patients with and without shock. The present study aimed to compare the prognosis of septic patients by stratifying them according to two factors: hyperlactatemia and persistent hypotension. Methods: The present study is a secondary analysis of an observational study conducted in ten hospitals in Brazil (Rede Amil - SP). Septic patients with initial lactate measurements in the first 6 hours of diagnosis were included and divided into 4 groups according to hyperlactatemia (lactate >4mmol/L) and persistent hypotension: (1) severe sepsis (without both criteria); (2) cryptic shock (hyperlactatemia without persistent hypotension); (3) vasoplegic shock (persistent hypotension without hyperlactatemia); and (4) dysoxic shock (both criteria). Results: In total, 1,948 patients were analyzed, and the sepsis group represented 52% of the patients, followed by 28% with vasoplegic shock, 12% with dysoxic shock and 8% with cryptic shock. Survival at 28 days differed among the groups (p<0.001). Survival was highest among the severe sepsis group (69%, p<0.001 versus others), similar in the cryptic and vasoplegic shock groups (53%, p=0.39), and lowest in the dysoxic shock group (38%, p<0.001 versus others). In the adjusted analysis, the survival at 28 days remained different among the groups (p<0.001) and the dysoxic shock group exhibited the highest hazard ratio (HR=2.99, 95%CI 2.21-4.05). Conclusion: The definition of sepsis includes four different profiles if we consider the presence of hyperlactatemia. Further studies are needed to better characterize septic patients, to understand the etiology and to design adequate targeted treatments. .
