[Inflammatory mediator in patients with obstructive jaundice and its effect on renal function].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of inflammatory transmitter on renal function in obstructive jaundice.


METHODS
15 patients with obstructive jaundice (OJ) as the experimental group and 15 non-joundiced patients as the control group were involved in this study. The plasma ET, LPS, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 and urine REP, TFR, ALB were measured in 15 patients with OJ before and 1, 4, 7 days after surgery and in 15 patients without jaundice as controls.


RESULTS
The levels of plasma ET, LPS, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 and urine RBP, TFR, ALB increased significantly at multiple time points as compared with those in the non-OJ patients (P < 0.05), and the changes of plasma ET, LPS, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 are the same as those of urine RBP, TFR, ALB.


CONCLUSIONS
These data suggest that there is interaction between ET, LPS, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 and the damage to renal function with OJ after surgery.
