文摘结直肠癌是消化道中较为常见的恶性肿瘤,其目前多采用手术切除的方式进行治疗,术后吻合口漏(anastomotic leakage,AL)是外科手术常见感染性并发症。术后发生AL会影响患者预期化学治疗时间,增加患者经济负担及二次手术可能,延长住院时长,加剧医患矛盾等。炎症指标可用于AL的早期预测,便于临床科室给予治疗方案。降钙素原(procalcitonin,PCT)是具有广泛生物学活性的多效性蛋白质,在结直肠癌术后AL的预测或排除中有重要作用,C-反应蛋白/血清白蛋白比值(C-reactive protein/serum albumin ratio,CAR)是反映全身炎症、免疫水平和营养状态的重要指标。二者均在早期对AL的预测有效,二者的联合应用可能存在更大的预测价值。
