Circulating heat-shock protein 70 is associated with postoperative infection and organ dysfunction after liver resection

Although extracellular heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) potentially mediates an inflammatory response, the association of circulating Hsp70 with complications after surgery is poorly understood. Perioperative plasma concentrations of Hsp70 and interleukin-6 were measured by immunoassays in 64 consecuti...

Description
Summary:Although extracellular heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) potentially mediates an inflammatory response, the association of circulating Hsp70 with complications after surgery is poorly understood. Perioperative plasma concentrations of Hsp70 and interleukin-6 were measured by immunoassays in 64 consecutive patients undergoing liver resection. Plasma concentrations of Hsp70 and interleukin-6 showed a striking increase immediately after surgery, and on postoperative day 1. The Hsp70 levels correlated significantly with operation time, hepatic ischemia time, postoperative alanine aminotransferase levels, and maximum interleukin-6 levels ( P
