[Changes in the amino acid spectrum pf the blood in patients with sepsis undergoing complex intensive therapy]

Amino acid fund was studied during intensive therapy of 25 patients with sepsis. In 15 patients complex therapy involved detoxicating hemosorption (3-5 sessions) and in 10 patients hemosorption was supplemented by ultraviolet blood irradiation (5-10 sessions). Complex therapy with hemosorption led to a decrease in plasma serine content. The amino acid fund of the whole blood changed insignificantly. There was a significant increase in leucine, isoleucine, threonine and phenylalanine levels. The introduction of ultraviolet blood irradiation into complex therapy of patients decreases a traumatic effect of sorption detoxication on blood cells and potentiates detoxicating effect.
