The diagnostic value of plasma D-dimer as an early marker in acute mesenteric Ischemia / 中国现代普通外科进展

ABSTRACT

Objective:In this study we evaluated the diagnostic value of plasma D-dimer level as an early indicator in acute mesenteric ischemia in rats.Methods:Forty-eight mature male Wistar rats were divided equally into experimental group (EG) and control group (CG),The superior mesenteric artery was ligated In EG,and while a simple laparotomy was performed in CG.Blood samples were taken for laboratory test in both groups at 1h、6h、12h respectively.Results:The longer the duration of mesenteric ischemia,the higher were the serum D-dimer levels in the study groups,and statistical significance was obtained between these two groups (P=0.0375).Otherwise,significant difference was not found in other laboratory parameters between them.Conclusions:Serum D-dimer dynamic measurements may be a important valuable screening parameter in the early diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia.
