[Hemosorption detoxication in combined therapy of postoperative diffuse peritonitis in cancer patients]
Abstract:
Hemosorption was used in complex treatment of postoperative diffuse peritonitis in 69 cancer patients. A pronounced detoxicating effect manifested itself in removal of toxic metabolites from blood matched by an improvement in liver, kidney and cardiovascular function and blood rheologic properties. As a result, lethality rate fell to as low as 69.6% versus 88% in a group of 73 patients in whom the procedure was not used.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. 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.
