Serum enzymes after hip joint surgery

B Berglund, K Bergström

    Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hip replacement surgery impacts serum enzyme levels, with creatine kinase peaking early and normalizing in about a week. Other enzymes like AST and ALP show transient changes post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Clinical Biochemistry
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Hip joint surgery is a common orthopedic procedure.
    • Routine laboratory tests, including serum enzymes, are often monitored postoperatively.
    • Understanding the temporal changes in serum enzymes after hip surgery is crucial for accurate interpretation of laboratory results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of hip joint surgery on routine serum enzyme values.
    • To document the time course of changes in specific serum enzymes following hip surgery.
    • To establish reference ranges for serum enzymes in the early postoperative period after hip surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study design.
    • Measurement of serum enzyme levels (creatine kinase, AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, S-amylase) at various time points before and after hip surgery.
    • Statistical analysis to determine significant changes and recovery times.

    Main Results:

    • Creatine kinase (CK) showed the most significant increase, returning to normal levels within approximately 1 week.
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was mildly elevated throughout the first two postoperative weeks.
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) remained largely unchanged in the first three postoperative days, while lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) returned to preoperative values within 2-3 days. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) increased after 1 week, and S-amylase remained normal.
    • Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) returned to preoperative values within 2-3 days.
    • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) showed an increase after 1 week.
    • S-amylase remained essentially normal throughout the 2-week study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum enzyme levels exhibit predictable changes following hip joint surgery.
    • Creatine kinase is the most sensitive indicator of muscle damage, with rapid normalization.
    • Monitoring these enzyme changes aids in distinguishing surgical effects from potential complications.
