DETERMINACION DE NIVELES DE INTERLEUCINA 6 COMO FACTOR PRONOSTICO DE AMPUTACION EN ISQUEMIA ARTERIAL AGUDA PERIFÉRICA

Abstract

Introduction: Interleukin-6 (IL6) is involved in aterogénesis and aterotrombótico most catastrophic phenomenon, peripheral arterial ischemia is one of the most frequent causes of limb amputation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of high levels of IL6 event of amputation in peripheral arterial ischemia (IAP). Objective: This paper aims to demonstrate that high levels of interleukin IL-6 can be considered as prognostic factor for amputation in acute peripheral arterial ischemia. Therefore it is of core importance to know and be aware that by measurement of interleukin IL-6 can identify the prognosis and outcome of patients. Material and metodhos. The type of study that is planned is of type: a prospective, longitudinal, comparative and analytical. Which will be held in the emergency department of the Regional Hospital Adolfo Lopez Mateos degree in a period January 2009 to October 2010. It will work with both male and female patients, including 18 years to 85 years who have acute peripheral arterial ischemia who enter the emergency area, in a period January 2009 to October 2010. Results. This study found that average age was 69 years, with a percentage of 62.5% men, 32.5% women, so an average of interleukin 6 was 13.5% for amputation. Conclusions: During the study found that IL-6 levels> 10 pg / ml in acute peripheral arterial ischemia were significantly associated with amputation more events during hospitalization.
