[The detoxifying function of the pulmonary parenchyma in patients with acute infectious lung destruction]
Abstract:
The study of arteriovenous ratio of medium-molecular oligopeptides level in 32 patients with acute infectious lung destructions has established an important detoxicating role of the lungs in endotoxemia syndrome during pulmonary-pleural suppurations. It has been found that, with the pronounced endotoxemia syndrome, during catabolic phase of the disease the lungs turn from toxin filter into their source. Detoxicating capacity of the lung parenchyma was shown to be more dependent on the severity of general metabolic disturbances than on the dissemination of suppurative lung destruction.
