Type 2 Hepatorenal Syndrome in a Cirrhotic Patient Who Underwent Gastric Cancer Surgery

Background: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. With progress in the field of gastric cancer treatment, as indicated by the improved survival rate, postoperative quality of life as well as the appropriate surgical treatment for a cure has become very important. Recently, metabolic surgery has become an appealing treatment option for patients with type 2 DM. Although the purpose of metabolic surgery and gastric cancer surgery is completely different, they are related clinically and technically. Thus organized evaluation of the impact of gastric cancer surgery on diabetes is necessary.Methods: 30 patients with gastric cancer and type 2 DM who underwent curative gastrectomy were selected. Patients were followed up till 12 months, the study population grouped depending upon the glycemic status and results compared using chi square test.Results: Three out of 30 patients had complete remission of diabetes at 12 months, 17 patients improved and 10 patients remained stationary. Short duration (<5 years) had a median reduction in insulin by 8.9 units versus 2.5 units in long duration (>10 years) diabetes. Maximum reduction (>10 U/day) and remission occurred in those who underwent total gastrectomy. The results were compared using chi square test and the p value was 0.048428 (<0.05) proving significant.Conclusions: The glycemic status was found to improve following gastric cancer surgery which was found to be related to the extent of gastrectomy and the diabetes duration and was found to be statistically significant.

Positive Prevention

IntroductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious life-threatening complication in patients with gastric cancer. Abnormal coagulation function and tumour-related treatment may contribute to the occurrence of VTE. Many guidelines considered that surgical treatment would put patients with cancer at high risk of VTE, so positive prevention is needed. However, there are no studies that have systematically reviewed the postoperative risk and distribution of VTE in patients with gastric cancer. We thus conduct this systematic review to determine the risk of VTE in patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgery and provide some evidence for clinical decision-making.Methods and analysisStudies reporting the incidence of VTE after gastric cancer surgery will be included. Primary studies of randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, population-based surveys and cross-sectional studies are eligible for this review and only studies published in Chinese and English will be included. We will search the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang data from their inception to November 2019. Two reviewers will independently select studies and extract data. The quality of each included study will be assessed with tools corresponding to their study design. Meta-analysis will be used to pool the incidence data from included studies. Heterogeneity of the estimates across studies will be assessed, if necessary, a subgroup analysis will be performed to explore the source of heterogeneity. The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation method is applied to assess the level of evidence obtained from this systematic review.Ethics and disseminationThis proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data, and thus ethical approval is not required. The results of this review will be sought for publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019144562

Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the frequency and risk factors of intercurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing major curative gastric cancer surgery. Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study included patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy at 5 hospitals between June 2016 and May 2018. Patients who were preoperatively administered anticoagulants were excluded. Results: A total of 126 patients were eligible to participate. VTE occurred within 9 days postoperatively in 5 cases (4.0%; 2 symptomatic and 3 asymptomatic). Postoperative day (POD) 1 plasma D-dimer and soluble fibrin (SF) levels were significantly higher in the VTE group than in the non-VTE group. Receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis indicated a statistically significant ability of POD 1 D-dimer and SF levels to predict postoperative VTE development after gastrectomy; this finding was reflected by an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.92–1.0) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.74–1.0), respectively. Cutoff values of D-dimer (24.6 µg/mL) and SF (64.1 µg/mL) were determined. Intraoperative blood transfusion (odds ratio [OR] 7.86), POD 1 D-dimer ≥24.6 µg/mL (OR 17.35), and POD 1 SF ≥64.1 µg/mL (OR 19.5) were independent predictive factors for postoperative VTE (p < 0.05). Conclusion: VTE occurred in 4.0% patients (1.6% symptomatic and 2.4% asymptomatic) after gastric cancer surgery; however, with an early diagnosis and anticoagulant therapy, no patients experienced progression. Careful observation of patients with a high risk for VTE, including intraoperative blood transfusion and high POD 1 D-dimer or SF levels, would contribute to the early detection of VTE.
