NCT06222021

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to identify those situations in which the increase of lactate levels is not clinically relevant since it is associated with altered genetic polymorphism of the genes involved in the membrane proteins acting as carriers for lactate (mainly monocarboxylate transporters, MCTs) patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Is there a relationship between the lactate levels in the immediate post-operative period and the presence of some lactate receptor polymorphisms?
  2. 2.Can hyperlactacidemia related to lactate receptor polymorphisms affect length of stay in the recovery room and/or in intensive care unit, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications? - Which are the risk factors for hyperlactacidemia in the immediate post-operative period in addition to the presence of lactate receptors polymorphisms?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Lactate levels

    Lactate levels (mmol/L) in the patients carrying the T allele versus the A allele for MCT1 gene.

    3 hours after the end of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Polymorphisms of lactate receptors (presence of MCT4 and GPR8)

    Minutes and an average of 30 minutes before the start of surgery

  • Lactate clearance

    3 hours after the end of surgery

  • Lactate clearance

    24 hours after the end of surgery

  • Postoperative recovery

    Hours (RR) or days (ICU) and average of three hours for RR and one day in ICU

  • In-hospital stay

    Days until discharge, an average of 7 day

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Genetic analysis of polymorphisms of membrane receptors involved in lactate transport

OTHER

Before the start of surgery, after arterial line cannulation, a blood sample will be collected in an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) test tube for genetic analysis of polymorphisms of membrane receptors involved in lactate transport including transporter family monocarboxylates 1 (MTC1), transporter family monocarboxylates 4 (MTC4) and Gi-coupled protein receptor 81 (GPR81).

Genetic: Genetic analysis of polymorphism of membrane receptors involved in lactate transport

Interventions

The DNA extracted from the blood samples (through extractor MagCore) will then undergo gene sequencing by Sanger sequencing and/or Custom NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) panels and will be used to identify nucleotide variants within genes involved in lactate transport (MCT-1/4, GPR81).
