Burn Injury Management and Outcomes

This is a retrospective study of 48 cases of severe burns patients followed up at the Plastic Surgery and Burns Department of the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, with the aim of assessing variations in liver parameters in these patients in the intensive care setting, analyzing the main etiologies. Variations in liver parameters are frequent diagnostic problems in burn patients, possibly resulting from extra-hepatic causes and metabolic disturbances. ALT and ASAT may evolve concomitantly, or be predominant in certain hepatic disorders. The study found that liver function tests were requested easily and frequently in the population studied, but that there was considerable variability in the tests requested and in the management of liver disturbances. Among etiologies, drug-induced is the most suspected, followed by hypermetabolic and hypercatabolic stress reactions. Treatment is adapted according to liver function tests, without systematic recourse to albumin transfusion. This study provides a better understanding of variations in liver parameters in burn patients, and helps guide management to avoid errors in diagnosis and treatment
