[Pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders in patients with chronic enteritis]

A total of 156 patients with chronic enteritis have been examined for the bile lipid and bile acid composition, the small and large intestine proximal portions microflora, membranous digestion and absorption of the lipids, blood serum lipid composition; morphometry of the small intestine proximal portion mucosa has been carried out. The findings have been processed in correlation and regression analysis, that has revealed a number of relationships between these parameters. This helped specify some aspects in the pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders associated with the small intestine abnormalities and select the tests most valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis of the condition. The authors recommend a wider application of such analysis to clinical studies.
