[Laboratory diagnosis of intoxication in chronic dermatosis]

The content of medium molecular weight (MMW) substances in the blood and urine was studied in patients with chronic dermatoses (psoriasis and atopic dermatitis). Intoxication was detected in all these patients, which was confirmed by clinical symptoms and a high level of plasma MMW substances, indicating pronounced catabolic processes in this condition. The distribution of MMW substances in biological media and the absence of positive changes after treatment in patients with atopic dermatitis in comparison with psoriasis patients may be indicative of different mechanisms of biochemical homeostasis and different adaptation potential, which should be taken into consideration when prescribing correction.
