[Endogenous intoxication in patients with stomach cancer observed immediately after surgery]
Abstract:
Severe endogenous intoxication (El) can trigger immediately after surgery many complications right up to multiple organ failure. The evaluation of El according to a degree of toxemia is most objective up to now. The purpose of the case study was to follow up the dynamics of the main El laboratory indices and to evaluate the correlation between them in patients with stomach cancer during the early postoperative period. The El parameters were determined in 2 hours before surgery as well as on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 after surgery. The below indices were determined in blood of patients: toxicity index (TI), count of mean weight molecules (MWM), leukocytic intoxication index (LII) and total count of leukocytes (TCL). The study showed that, when patients with stomach cancer are admitted for surgical treatment, they have pronounced El, which intensifies even more postoperatively. The investigated laboratory indices are independently significant in the evaluation of the El degree. A reliable but faint correlation was found between the parameters of MWM and IT, and MWM and LII. TCL does not correlate reliably with other studied El parameters except for LII. The full-fledged evaluation of the El nature must be used in choosing purposefully detoxication methods with the aim of promoting the quality of postoperative treatment of patients with stomach cancer.
