Bilirubin urobilinogen pancreas elastase and bile acid in drain fluid. The GBUP-study: Analysis of biomarkers for a colorectal anastomotic leakage

摘要

PurposeA colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) is a major complication after colorectal surgery and leads to high rates of morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. The study aims to evaluate the benefit of using bilirubin, urobilinogen, pancreas elastase and bile acid in the drain fluid (DF) as a predictive marker for the CAL.
