Abstract:
Objective: To examine the effects of recombinant human growth hormone on the acute phase response in abdominal sepsis patients.Methods: Prospective unblinded trial was made with each patient serving as his/her own control.Eighteen abdominal sepsis patients were enrolled ranging in age from 24 to 60 yrs.All patients received 10 U/d of GH 48 hrs after performing drainage and for 7days.Results: Serum concentration of constitutive proteins,acute phase protein and cytokines were measured before and 1,3,5 and 7 days after GH administration.GH notablely increased serum constitutive protein levels(prealbumin,transferrin,fibronectin) and decreased serum acute phase protein level(CRP).Cytokine TNF-?,IL-1? and IL-6 had significant change after GH administration,but the changes were not relative to the change of acute phase response.Conclusion: Low-dose rhGH effectively modulated the acute phase response by attenuating production of the hepatic acute phase protein and increasing the synthesis of constitutive proteins.
