Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIM:Liver cirrhosis is accompanied by a fall in whole-body protein turnover and alterations of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis. However, the influence of liver cirrhosis on the GH/IGF-1 axis in the perioperative period, and the contribution of the GH/IGF-1 axis alteration in cirrhosis to postoperative nitrogen metabolism are not known. METHODS:Plasma GH, IGF-1 and IGF binding protein 3 (IGF-BP3) levels were measured sequentially in patients undergoing hepatectomy with or without cirrhosis. Postoperative nitrogen excretion and whole-body protein turnover rate were also determined. RESULTS:Preoperative plasma IGF-1 level showed a negative correlation with indocyanine green retention rate. Cirrhosis patients undergoing hepatectomy had low IGF-1 and IGF-BP3 levels, despite extremely high GH levels in the perioperative period. Perioperative IGF-1 levels were lower in patients with postoperative complications than in those without complications. Postoperative nitrogen excretion was higher and whole-body protein turnover rate was lower in patients with cirrhosis than in those without cirrhosis. The post-operative IGF-1 level showed a positive correlation with whole-body protein turnover rate. CONCLUSIONS:Postoperative hepatic IGF-1 production may be severely disturbed in patients with cirrhosis, and the impaired IGF-1 production contributes to the suppressed postoperative protein metabolism in cirrhosis. It may be appropriate to increase plasma IGF-1 level in patients with cirrhosis to enhance postoperative protein metabolism and improve the postoperative outcome.
