Plasma Intestinal Fatty Acid–Binding Protein Levels Correlate With Morphologic Epithelial Intestinal Damage in a Human Translational Ischemia-reperfusion Model

Abstract

This study demonstrates the relationship between the duration of ischemia and the extent of tissue damage, which is reflected by I-FABP V-A plasma levels. In addition, systemic I-FABP levels appear valuable in detecting irreversible intestinal ischemia-reperfusion damage.
