[Cerebrospinal fluid sorption in the system of complex treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia]

The cerebrospinal fluid was investigated in 16 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia. Reactions of the local immune system of the liquor was shown to change by the autoimmune type. Medical efficiency of cerebrospinal fluid sorption was proved and it can be considered a method of detoxication aimed at breaking the pathogenetic chain: formation of abundance of the autoantibodies--increased amount of the circulating immunocomplexes--damage of the cell membranes--discharge of deep antigens--appearance of a new generation of autoantibodies. Using cerebrospinal fluid sorption as a test for the detection of latent functional reserves of the neurons not changed irreversibly in the zone of reduced perfusion of the cerebral tissue is thought to be a perspective method.
