Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of continuous blood purification on RAAS and inflammatory factors in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Sixty-four cases of SAP treated in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group received basic treatment and continuous blood purification therapy, at the same time, the control group received basic treatment. The main symptoms, index recovery time and treatment efficiency were compared between the two groups. The differences in RAAS indexes and the inflammatory factors before and 1, 3 and 7 days after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The recovery time of abdominal pain, nausea, CRP and AMS in the treatment group was significant shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group (31 cases, 91.18%) was higher than that of the control group (21 cases, 70%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the two groups the RAAS index decreased after treatment; angiotensin I, angiotensin Ⅱ, renin and aldosterone levels in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group 1 and 3 days after treatment (P < 0.05). In the two groups, various inflammatory factors after treatment were decreased compared with those before treatment; IL-6, IL-8 and CRP in the treatment group 1, 3 and 7 days after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); TNF-α of the treatment group 1 and 3 days after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Continuous blood purification is better in the improvement of RAAS, activation of inflammatory factors and curative effect than the foundation treatment in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
