[Enterosorption and nutritious support with pectin-containing preparation in the treatment of stress immunodeficiency
Abstract:
Fifty-eight patients aged from 18 to 65 years with peritonitis of different etiology in toxic and terminal phases were treated. Nasoenteral intubation, enterosorption and early nutritious support with pectin-containing preparation (PCP) were carried out in all the patients just after surgery with standard course of 5 days. Baseline data was compared with that after PCP-supported treatment. Powder products of red beet were used as PCP. Immunodeficiency in peritonitis is characterized by imbalance of stress-realizing and stress-limiting mechanisms of immunocompetent cells. Enterosorption and early nutritious support with PCP in peritonitis decrease the level of plasmic cortisol and enhance stress-limiting reception that reduces a harmful effect of cortisol and reestablishes immunity.
