Relevance of Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule 1 (Endocan) Plasma Levels for Predicting Pulmonary Infection after Cardiac Surgery in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: The Endolung Pilot Study

Abstract: Objectives: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the relevance of endocan plasma levels for predicting pulmonary infection after cardiac surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Serum collected in a previous prospective cohort study (from 166 patients with preoperative CKD who underwent cardiac surgery) was used. Five patients with postoperative pulmonary infection were compared with 15 randomly selected CKD patients with an uneventful outcome. Blood samples were tested at 4 time points (p… Show more

“…Higher perioperative concentrations of endocan were observed in patients with the longest duration of norepinephrine support ( p = 0.007) [ 38 ]. Patients developing POP exhibited higher blood endocan levels before surgery and at 6 h post surgery than those who did not develop POP (Table 2 ) [ 42 , 43 ]. Thus, endocan allowed earlier identification of patients evolving to POP than PCT or CRP [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…In routine practice, the average time to a formal diagnosis of pneumonia after cardiac surgery is 4.6 ± 3.7 days [ 43 ]. Blood endocan > 15 ng/ml 6 h after cardiac surgery had a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100% to predict POP [ 42 ].…”
