Advances in sepsis-associated liver dysfunction
Recent studies have revealed liver dysfunction as an early event in sepsis. Sepsis-associated liver dysfunction is mainly resulted from systemic or microcirculatory disturbances, spillovers of bacteria and endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS), and subsequent activation of inflammatory cytokines as well as mediators. Three main cell types of the liver which contribute to the hepatic response in s...
متن کاملNew Translational Research Provides Insights into Liver Dysfunction in Sepsis
John Marshall discusses new research detailing the early onset in liver dysfunction in a rodent sepsis model, which he says can fundamentally change our understanding of this common clinical problem.
متن کاملAdvances in understanding sepsis.
Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory response to infection, is a leading cause of death in intensive care units. Recent investigations into the pathogenesis of sepsis reveal a biphasic inflammatory process. An early phase is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. tumour necrosis factor-alpha), whereas a late phase is mediated by an inflammatory high-mobility group box 1 and an anti-inflam...
متن کاملRole of Exogenous Hsp72 on Liver Dysfunction during Sepsis
This study examined the role of exogenous heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) in reversing sepsis-induced liver dysfunction. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture. Liver function was determined on the basis of the enzymatic activities of serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT). Apoptosis was determined using terminal deoxynucleotidyl trans...
متن کاملMicrovascular dysfunction in sepsis
Sepsis causes microvascular dysfunction. Increased heterogeneity of capillary blood flow results in local tissue hypoxia, which can cause local tissue inflammation, impaired oxygen extraction, and, ultimately, organ dysfunction. Microvascular dysfunction is clinically relevant because it is a marker for mortality: it improves rapidly in survivors of sepsis but fails to improve in nonsurvivors. ...
