[Characteristics of certain components of the systemic inflammatory reaction in patients with diffusive peritonitis]
Abstract:
The clinical, immunobiochemical and hemostasiological parameters of the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) were studied in 51 patients with diffusive peritonitis. The study showed that lactoferrin, plasminogen/plasmin and alpha 2-macroglobulin can be used, in a set, as informative indices of SIR. A reduced content of lactoferrin, a smaller concentration of proteases inhibitor alpha 2-macroglobulin and a higher relation between plasminogen and plasmin correlate with an unfavorable outcome of the disease beginning from the 1st postoperative day. An activity of Willebrandt's factor is a diagnostic and prognostic marker, which determines a lesion to the endothelium system.
