| description | OBJECTIVES: The essential role of erythrocytes as oxygen carriers is historically well established, but their function to aggregate and the consequences on the microcirculation is under debate. The pathogenic potential of low erythrocyte aggregation could be important for patients undergoing on-pump cardipopulmonary bypass. These patients are severely hemodiluted due to preoperative isovolemic hemodilution (IHD), circuit priming, and large fluid infusions perioperatively. Considering the vascular endothelium sensitivity to variations in blood rheology, the authors hypothesize that low erythrocyte aggregation will be responsible for activation of vascular endothelium during acute IHD. METHODS: Acute IHD (30 mL/kg exchange transfusion with colloid solutions) was induced in an "aggregating species"(pigs, n = 15). The hypoxic oxidative stress (plasma malondialdehyde, ex vivo oxygen radicals production in heart, lung, kidney, liver, and ileum tissue biopsies), erythrocyte aggregation (LORCA), and endothelial activation (real-time quantitative RT-PCR on von Willebrand factor (vWF), E- and P-selectins, endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene-expression in tissue biopsies) were investigated. RESULTS: The production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, measured as H2O2 generation, was similar at all times in sham-operated and hemodiluted animals, proving a maintained oxygen delivery to tissues. Acute IHD was followed by a dramatic drop in erythrocyte aggregation and immediate prothrombotic (significant vWF mRNA upregulation in heart, lungs, kidney, liver, ileum) and proinflammatory (significant E- and P-selectins mRNA upregulation in lungs and ileum) endothelial activation. Low erythrocyte aggregation was significantly correlated with increased mRNA-expression of vWF (heart, liver, ileum) and P-selectin (lungs, ileum, and heart). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that low erythrocyte aggregation might trigger endothelium-dependent thrombogenic and proinflammatory response during acute isovolemic hemodilution. |
