Abstract

Background: Surgery with and without hypervolaemia may cause shedding (breakdown) of the endothelial glycocalyx layer, but the severity of this problem is unclear.

Methods: In this preliminary report of a larger clinical trial, the plasma and urine concentrations of three biomarkers of glycocalyx shedding (syndecan-1, hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate) were measured in seven patients before, during, and after open hysterectomy. The fluid therapy consisted of 25 ml/kg (approximately 2 l) of Ringer's lactate, which was infused over 30 min when the surgery started. The resulting plasma volume expansion at the end of the infusion was estimated from the haemodilution.

Results: The mean plasma concentration of syndecan-1 was 21.7 ng/ml before surgery and averaged 19.7 ng/ml during and after the surgery. The plasma concentration of hyaluronic acid decreased from 38.0 to 27.7 ng/ml (P < 0.05), while heparan sulfate increased from 3.4 to 5.5 μg/ml (P < 0.05). The urine concentrations of syndecan-1 decreased significantly, while they increased for hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate. Despite the vigorous fluid load, the urine flow did not exceed 1 ml/min.

Conclusions: No clear evidence was found for shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx layer when 2 l of Ringer's lactate was infused over 30 min during abdominal hysterectomy. Urine analyses yielded patterns of changes that differed from those in plasma.
