[Early detoxification therapy in radiation exposures]

According to the structural metabolic theory of radiation injuries radiotoxins perform a leading role in the development of disorders. The experiments have disclosed the characteristic features of the development of toxemia in irradiated organism. These data have served as a ground for studying the efficiency of various methods of detoxication. Metabolic plasmapheresis is seemed to be of most pronounced effect in comparison with other methods of detoxication. On the basis of the results of these studies several practical recommendations were provided for performing an early disintoxicative therapy in patients with radiation injuries.
