Summary: | Cytokines and adipocytokines have major effect on post-operative prognosis of patients. In obese patients, we find significantly higher expression of proinflammatory mediators. In first part of our project we focus on cytokine expresion after elective abdominal surgery. Abdominal surgery was choosen as model of stress reaction to organism. Our results show, that proinflammatory cytokine expresion was significantly higher in obese patients and especially early elevation of visfatin could be a new marker in diagnosis of postoperative inflammatory complications. Related publications describe methods, design and results of trials. Second part of our poject is focused on patients after kidney transplanation, considering obesity, type of previous dialysis, early postoperative movement a nutrition. Our results show, that there is higher proinflammatory expresion after kidney transplanation with no effect of previous type of dialysis. On the other side early exercise have positive effect on cytokine expresion and decreases ADMA. Related publicatons describe methods, details and results of trials.
