NOD2 gene variants confer risk for secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients

Abstract: Sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SC-CIP) is a progressive cholestatic disease of unknown aetiology characterized by chronic biliary infections. Hence we hypothesized that common NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain containing 2) gene variants, known risk factors for Crohn’s disease and bacterial translocation in liver cirrhosis, increase the odds of developing SC-CIP. Screening of 4,641 endoscopic retrograde cholangiography procedures identified 17 patients with SC-CIP, who were th… Show more

“…This suggests, that gut barrier dysfunction is a feature of the critical illness and that a "second hit" that yet needs to be defined is necessary to develop SC-CIP. NOD2 polymorphisms, but not polymorphisms in genes associated with cholestatic liver diseases, were more common in SC-CIP [114].…”

“…The pathogenesis of SC-CIP remains widely enigmatic, and several potentially causative factors are of major interest: (i) ischemic injury of the biliary system, (ii) bile cast formation with protein-rich sludge and (iii) impaired innate immunity leading to recurrent biliary infections with bacteria and fungi [ 5 , 6 ]. The disease may cause destruction of the intra- and extra-hepatic biliary system with evolution of strictures leading to biliary-type liver fibrosis.…”

“…Etwa die Hälfte benötigte einen PEEP > 10 cm H 2 O [11]. Weitere mögliche Risikofaktoren sind Bauchlage und Adipositas [12], sowie eine Mutation im NOD2-Gen [13]. Pathogenetisch weniger relevant scheinen die Dauer der mechanischen Ventilation, eine Sedierung mit Propofol und/ oder Ketamin, totale parenterale Ernährung oder Antibiotikatherapie.…”
