Description
Mehmet Asıl and colleagues tracked short-term shifts in blood antioxidant balance after ERCP, publishing the prospective controlled study in 2026. The bile-duct procedure is invasive and may stir oxidative stress, yet most earlier work looked only at pancreatitis cases or single markers. The team measured thiol and disulfide levels, a sensitive gauge of redox balance, in patients undergoing ERCP and in controls.
Patients showed lower protective thiol pools and higher oxidised disulfide levels than controls, even after age adjustment. Levels partly recovered after the procedure but stayed below control values at 24 hours, regardless of pancreatitis or enzyme rises. The authors link the lingering imbalance to both the underlying bile disease and procedure stress, while noting its clinical meaning still needs pinning down.
