Purpose of the guideline: | Aldehyde metabolism disorders have been proven to play an undeniable role in various critically ill diseases, such as acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, organ dysfunction, cardiac arrest, aortic dissection, and aneurysm. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme for detoxifying ethanol-derived acetaldehyde and endogenous lipid aldehydes such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) or malondialdehyde. Carriers of the ALDH2 rs671 inactivation gene have an increased risk of many diseases compared to the general population, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease. We hope to apply the theory of aldehyde metabolism disorder based on existing evidence to guide early treatment of critically ill patients. |
