Hypoxic hepatitis in cardiac intensive care unit: a study of cardiovascular risk factors, clinical course, and outcomes

Abstract: IntroductionHypoxic hepatitis (HH) is observed frequently in intensive care units. Information in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) is limited. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical course and outcomes of HH in the specific setting of the CICU.MethodsWe analyzed records of patients with HH admitted to the CICU (Group 1). Data were collected and compared with those of an intermediate group of patients with altered liver test results that did not meet the HH criteria who had a serum aminotransfe… Show more

“…MV and high lactate levels are also manifestations of hypoxia’s impact on hemodynamics in HH patients. A higher proportion of patients in the non-survivor group required MV on the first day of admission, and the use of MV increased mortality risk, a finding that was also reported by Chavez Tapia et al ( 46 ). Typically, lactate elevation results from improved anaerobic metabolic processes triggered by tissue hypoxia, which can be observed in many severe diseases and is strongly associated with prognosis.…”

“…In some cases, patients will require mechanical cardiac support via intraaortic balloon pump or a ventricular assist device. (42) Additional research is needed to define the optimal pressor, timing of diuresis and the cohort that would benefit most from mechanical cardiac support.…”

“…Shock liver can influence the overall mortality rate in ICU patients (9). The mortality rate of patients with hypoxic hepatitis in cardiac intensive care unit is high and associated with ventilator disturbances ( 7 , 11 , 23 , 36 , 37 ). Acute and chronic heart failure are other risk factors for hypoxic hepatitis ( 4 ).…”

“…Critically low levels of oxygen for metabolic processes cause hepatocellular dysfunction ( 4 ) and is frequently observed in critically ill patients ( 6 , 9 ) and is associated with high mortality and morbidity ( 6 , 19 ). Hypoxic hepatitis is detected frequently in intensive care units ( 6 , 7 ). Most cases of hypoxic hepatitis occur following cardiac failure, respiratory failure and septic shock ( 8 , 20 , 21 , 24 , 25 ).…”
