Abstract





Aim: Acute mesenteric ischemia is still fatal in 59-92% of cases. Delay in diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia can cause dramatic increase in morbidity and mortality rates.  However several diagnostic and disease related factors have been widely studied. Controversy still remains. In this study, we evaluated hematological and biochemical parameters in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.

Methods: 46 patients (study group) who underwent emergent surgery for
acute mesenteric ischemia and 46 patients (control group) operated for acute
abdomen with another etiology other than acute mesenteric ischemia and
internalized to intensive care unit were included in this study. Medical
records and clinical data of acute mesenteric ischemia patients between January
2008 and December 2014 were evaluated with regard to 8 parameters; age,
amylase, white blood cell count, mean platelet volume, creatine kinase, lactate
dehydrogenase, lactate and D-dimer. These parameters were selected for their
increased levels in acute mesenteric ischemia patients according to many
published medical studies. Control group was formed randomly from patients
followed in intensive care unit for their co-morbidities after acute abdomen
operation in the same period. Gender was included in the table but was not
taken into account as a parameter for the study.





Results: Mean values of age, white blood cell count, creatine kinase,
lactate dehydrogenase, lactate and D-dimer were significantly higher in acute
mesenteric ischemia group than the control group. Mean platelet volume was
significantly lower in acute mesenteric ischemia group. The p values were for
age (p=0.009), for amylase (0.475), for white blood cell (p=0.001) for mean platelet
volume (0=0.001), for creatinine kinase (p=0.017), for lactate dehydrogenase
(p=0.001), for lactate (p=0.001), for D-dimer (p=0.001) respectively.

Conclusion: White blood cell count, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate and D-dimer levels increase; mean platelet volume decrease in acute mesenteric ischemia patients significantly.

Abstract













Amaç: Akut mezenterik iskemi %59-92 oranından ölümcül seyretmektedir. Tanıda gecikme morbidite ve mortalitede ciddi artışa sebep olabilmektedir. Bu konuyla ilgili pek çok tanısal çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, akut mezenterik iskemisi olan hastalarda hematolojik ve laboratuar parametrelerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.

Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya akut mezenterik iskemi tanısıyla acil cerrahiye giden 46 hasta ile akut abdomen sebebiyle opere edilen ve yoğun bakım ünitesine alınan 46 hasta dahil edildi. Ocak 2008 ve Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında akut mezenterik iskemi hastalarının dosyaları tarandı. Sekiz parametre ile ilgili tablolar oluşturuldu: amilaz, beyaz küre sayısı, ortalama trombosit hacmi, kreatinin kinaz, laktat dehidrogenez, laktat ve D-dimer. Bu parametreler daha önce çeşitli çalışmalarda akut mezenterik iskemide yükselmiş olarak bulunan parametrelerdir. Kontrol grubu aynı dönemde akut abdomen sebebiyle opere edildikten sonra yoğun bakıma alınmış olan hastalardan randomize olarak seçildi. Cinsiyet tablolarda yer almakla birlikte bu çalışmada bir parametre olarak kullanılmadı.

Bulgular: Ortalama yaş, amilaz düzeyi, beyaz
küre sayısı, kreatinin kinaz, laktat dehidrogenez, laktat ve D-dimer akut
mezenterik iskemi grubunda kontrol grubuna oranla daha yüksek olarak tespit
edildi. Ortalama trombosit volumu akut mezenter iskemisi grubunda istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı derecede daha düşüktü. P değerleri yaş için 0,009, amilaz p=0,475,
beyaz küre sayısı için 0,001, kreatinin kinaz için 0,017, laktat dehidrogenaz
için 0,001, laktat içim 0,001 ve D-dimer için 0,001 idi.







Sonuç: Akut mezenterik iskemi hastalarında
beyaz küre sayısı, kreatin kinaz, laktat dehidrogenez, laktat, D-dimer sayıları
artarken ortalama trombosit hacmi belirgin olarak azalmaktadır.
