[Lipid peroxidation in acute surgical diseases of abdominal cavity organs]

The study of lipid peroxidation (LPO) characteristics in patients with acute mesenterial circulatory disturbances (64), acute pancreatitis (44) and acute bowel obstruction (46) allowed the conclusion on informative value of determination of malonic dialdehyde and diene conjugates in the blood for staging these diseases and the degree of severity of endotoxicosis. On the basis of the state of LPO it became possible to evaluate the extent of bowel failure. According to LPO in postoperative period the process of development of vascular rethrombosis in the bowels could be assessed. The varieties of lipid peroxidation products in peripheral venous blood can be used for differential diagnosis of such diseases, similar in their clinical symptoms, as acute pancreatitis and acute bowel obstruction.
