[Extracorporeal detoxification by plasmapheresis in the complex treatment of acute intestinal obstruction]
Abstract:
The article deals with problems of performing detoxication in complex treatment of acute ileus. A method of plasmapheresis is proposed for treatment of patients with a pronounced intoxication syndrome. Criteria for the estimation of the patient's state are presented which are considered as indications for extracorporal detoxication and for effectiveness of plasmapheresis both by clinical criteria of the estimation of the patient's state and by laboratory findings. High efficiency of the method is shown in complex treatment of patients with acute ileus with a pronounced intoxication syndrome.

In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
