Post-ischaemic organ dysfunction: A review

Abstract: Although it is recognised that prolonged ischaemia results in tissue and organ damage, the concept of reperfusion-induced tissue injury, defined as tissue damage occurring as a direct consequence of revascularisation, is relatively recent. Such events may increase the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing vascular reconstruction, trauma surgery and transplantation. A clear understanding of the factors responsible for its development is therefore vital if protocols that reduce its impact are to be deve… Show more

“…A severe complication of GI/R, most likely due to changes in intestinal permeability, is multiorgan failure, also referred to as remote or secondary organ injury (2,4,5). Significant elevations of serum FITC-dextran concentrations were observed in WT and C1q KO, but not C2/fB KO, mice after GI/R.…”

“…Clinically, GI/R is commonly associated with sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, vascular surgery, small bowel transplantation (2,3), and multiple organ failure (4,5). The complement system is a key component in GI/R, resulting in local intestinal and secondary tissue injury (6 -11).…”

“…GASTROINTESTINAL ISCHEMIA-reperfusion (GI/R) is a common clinical problem in the settings of sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, vascular surgery, and small bowel transplantation (17,21). GI/R causes gut dysfunction characterized by histological evidence of impaired gut motility, increased intestinal permeability, and mucosal injury (18).…”

“…The exogenous administration of SOD in a rat model of gastric ischemia-reperfusion increases luminal NO levels, suggesting that SOD-mediated protection is afforded by decreasing the local concentra-tion of superoxide that is available to react with NO (53). Because endogenous SOD levels are not adequate to quench the sudden surge in superoxide levels after reperfusion, attention has been directed toward the delivery of exogenous SOD (21,39). To date, factors mediating the regulation of endogenous SOD after ischemia-reperfusion have not been identified.…”

“…Once critical situations such as shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) occur, skeletal muscle and the gastrointestinal system fall into hypoperfusion state earlier than other important organs. It is thought that ischemia is caused by microvascular dysfunction (20,21). Therefore, the higher the H-FABP level, the greater the degree of invasiveness of myocardial and/or skeletal muscle damage and the poorer the prognosis.…”
