About this study

Monitoring of inflammatory substances (such as interleukins, CRP, albumine), and markers of organ dysfunction (such as creatinine, proenkephaline, amylase, troponine, IFABP and lactate) during elective liver resection. The study also includes monitoring of hemodynamic parameters, blood loss and postoperative complications. Results are to be used för power calculation for future trials.

Read the detailed description

During hepatic surgery, blood and urine samples will be obtained at 3 times during surgery, at 3 h after resection of liver, at 24 h after resection of liver and at post operative day 2, and subsequntly analyzed for the above mentioned substances. Routine labs will be monitored until patient is discharged from hospital. During surgery, hemodynamic parameters will be monitored by Picco calculations. Urine output and blood loss will be registred.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ischemic Intestinal Damage

    rise in IFABP in nanograms/ml,

    Measured: from day of surgery until 24-48 hours postoperatively

  2. Kidney injury

    as described by KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) criteria

    Measured: from day of surgery and approximately 1 week onwards

  3. Intestinal Bacterial Transloction

    Rise in D-lactate in micromol/ml

    Measured: from day of surgery until 24-48 hours postoperatively

  4. Kidney injury

    proenkephaline increase in pico mol/l

    Measured: from day of surgery until 24-48 hours postoperatively

  5. Kidney injury

    NAG units/g increase in urine.

    Measured: from day of surgery until 24-48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Description of Inflammatory Response

    Changes in MCP-1, SDF-1, IL-1beta, TNF-alfa, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and HMBG-1, in blood samples obtained during and after heptaic surgery

    Measured: from day of surgery and approximately 1 week onwards

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatic Surgery, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ischemic Intestinal Damage (time frame: from day of surgery until 24-48 hours postoperatively). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2025.
