- Abstract:
- This study was performed to evaluate the hypothesis that oxygen radicals/lipid peroxidation are involved in reperfusion injury in humans. The study included 37 patients, who underwent surgical revascularization operations for kidney transplantation (9 subjects) or limb salvage (28 subjects). Peripheral venous blood samples were taken 30 min before starting reperfusion (baseline) and 1, 2, 3, 4, and occasionally 6 to 18 h after revascularization. The amount of plasma malonaldehyde formed in the reaction with thiobarbituric acid (MDA-TBA) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The baseline MDA-TBA values of the patients were very close to the value determined for 20 age-matched healthy subjects (i.e. mean +/- SD 0.689 +/- 0.294 nmol/mL plasma [range 0.2 to 1.37] vs. 0.700 +/- 0.209 nmol/mL plasma [range 0.385 to 1.29]). All patients responded to successful revascularization with significant increase of the plasma MDA-TBA within about 1 h after onset of reperfusion. Thereafter the values decreased nearly to the preoperative state. The mean increase of MDA-TBA was 107% in kidney transplantation and 54% in limb revascularization. In a few patients with severe arteriosclerosis, revascularization was not optimal and no increase in the MDA-TBA value occurred. The results of this study indicate that therapeutic intervention to prevent lipid-peroxidation-mediated reperfusion injury is confined to a rather narrow time window and must be undertaken either prior to or immediately after revascularization.
