Perioperative Blood Adiponectin Dynamics and Systemic Infflamatory Response After Major Colorectal Surgery

Croatia58 participantsStarted 2023-07-27

Plain-language summary

Surgical stress after major abdominal surgery in perioperative period causes neuroendocrine, metabolic and imunologic changes in organism with production of proinfflamatory citokines and results with appearance of systemic infflammmatory response syndrome (SIRS). Dysregulated and overrated SIRS in early postoperative period can lead to complications with additional comorbidities, longer hospital stay and poorer outcome. A low grade chronic infflammatory state in obesity and hypoadiponectinemia can enable the cytokine storm and exaggerated /dysregulated SIRS in obese patients after surgery. Obesity according to this knowledge presents independent risk factor for developing more severe systemic infflamatory response syndrome in early postoperative period after major abdominal surgery. Also, chronic intestinal and gut infflamation is leading theory in oncogenesis of colorectal carcinoma according to recent findings. Many studies find low adiponectin levels in patients with colorectal carcinoma compared to healthy population. Obesity and colorectal cancer have infflamation and low adiponectin level as mutual factor which can be the important key in pathophysiology process of colorectal oncogenesis which are extremly complicated , multifactorial and intertwining. Hypothesis: Lower blood adiponectin levels are associated with higher systemic infflamatory response in patients after major abdominal surgery. Major aim of this study is to investigate correlation between perioperative blood levels of adiponectin and clinical signs of systemic infflamation and blood markers of systemic infflamation in patients after major colorectal surgery.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
