Increased Drop in Activity of Alkaline Phosphatase in Plasma from Patients with Endocarditis

(1) Infective endocarditis is a severe inflammatory disease associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels have been shown to change significantly during sepsis. Additionally, we previously found that a higher initial AP drop after cardiac surgery is associated...

description (1) Infective endocarditis is a severe inflammatory disease associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels have been shown to change significantly during sepsis. Additionally, we previously found that a higher initial AP drop after cardiac surgery is associated with unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, the course of AP after surgery for endocarditis is of special interest. (2) A total of 314 patients with active isolated left-sided infective endocarditis at the Department of Cardiac Surgery (Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria) between 2009 and 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. Blood samples were analyzed at different time points (baseline, postoperative days 1–7, postoperative days 14 and 30). Patients were categorized according to relative alkaline phosphatase drop (≥30% vs. <30%). (3) A higher rate of postoperative renal replacement therapy with or without prior renal replacement therapy (7.4 vs. 21.8%; <i>p</i> = 0.001 and 6.7 vs. 15.6%; <i>p</i> = 0.015, respectively) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (2.2 vs. 19.0%; <i>p</i> = 0.000) was observed after a higher initial alkaline phosphatase drop. Short-term (30-day mortality 3.0 vs. 10.6%; <i>p</i> = 0.010) and long-term mortality (<i>p</i> = 0.008) were significantly impaired after a higher initial alkaline phosphatase drop. (4) The higher initial alkaline phosphatase drop was accompanied by impaired short- and long-term outcomes after cardiac surgery for endocarditis. Future risk assessment scores for cardiac surgery should consider alkaline phosphatase.
