Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The liver produces various cytokines, but local changes in the concentrations of these reaction products after liver surgery are unknown. We investigated the local changes of interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist after liver surgery. METHODOLOGY: We determined levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist in the hepatic vein and radial artery after liver resection in 13 patients. These cytokine levels in the portal vein were also measured in 6 patients. RESULTS: Interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist levels were significantly increased during liver surgery (P < 0.05). The level of interleukin-6 was significantly lower in the hepatic vein than in the radial artery as well as in the portal vein at the end of the operation (P < 0.05, < 0.03). The level of interleukin-8 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist was significantly higher in the hepatic vein than in the artery (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Interleukin-6 may be taken up by the liver after liver surgery, and the difference between hepatic venous and peripheral arterial interleukin-6 levels may be an indicator of liver regeneration after liver resection. Interleukin-8 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist appear to be produced in the remaining liver.
