Effect of terlipressin on hepatic and renal function in cirrhotic patients undergoing hepatectomy / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of terlipressin on hepatic and renal function in cirrhotic patients undergoing hepatectomy.Methods Aanlyze the clinical data of 57 patients following irregular hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis,according to whether use terlipressin or not after operation,which were divided into terlipressin group (A group,n =27) and control group (B group,n =30).Liver function parameters (ALT,AST,TB),ascites,urine volume and renal function parameters (Cr,BUN) preoperatively and on postoperative day(POD) 1,3,5 and 7 were compared between the two gruops.Results Compared with those of POD 1,the levels of ALT,AST and ascites on POD 3,5,7 were significantly lower in two groups (P ＜ 0.05),urine volume was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),Cr of POD 7 was significantly lower (P ＜0.05),but it is more remarkable in group A than group B.The levels of ALT in terlipressin group on POD 5,7 were (144.9 ±76.3) U/L,(100.5 ±61.5) U/L,which were lower than those of (267.2±91.2) U/L,(199.3 ±70.5) U/L in control group.On POD 3,5,7,the levels of AST,BUN,Cr and peritoneal fluid in terlipressin group,which were respectively(211.1 ±99.8) U/L,(80.4 ±54.6) U/L,(50.6 ±46.5) U/L,(6.6 ± 1.9) mmol/L,(6.5 ± 1.7) mmol/L,(6.3 ± 2.1) mmol/L,(74.3 ± 10.9) μmol/L,(71.5 ± 8.9) μmol/L,(58.7 ±4.1) μmol/L,(247.6±60.3) ml,(58.8±54.3) ml,(40.2±31.8) ml,were significantly lower than those in control group which were (298.7 ±131.2) U/L,(201.1 ±93.4) U/L,(114.7 ±70.3) U/L,(7.3 ± 1.9) mmol/L,(7.2±1.8) mmol/L,(7.1±1.7) mmol/L,(79.5±15.1) μmol/L,(76.9±16.2) μmol/L,(69.4±11.4) μmol/L,(275.2±88.1) ml,(191.7±71.6) ml,(93.2±50.2) ml.while urine volume of (2232.3±409.8) ml,(2270.5 ±395.8) ml,(2179.0±301.4) ml was much more than that of (1921 ± 510.4) ml,(2019.1 ±411.2) ml,(1978.7±323.7) ml in the control group,the differences in the two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).There were 11 (36.7％) patients with hepatic and renal dysfunction and hepatorenal syndrome after operation in group B,while only 2 (7.4％) patients in group A.Conclusions The use of terlipressin after partial liver resection has a protective effect on hepatic and renal function in patients with cirrhosis,and can reduce postoperative ascites and prevent hepatorenal syndrome.
