New method for predicting endogenous intoxication in patients with peritonitis

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The authors developed the integral criterion of prediction of endogenous intoxication in acute peritonitis based on evaluation of homeostatic disorders in blood plasma. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The patients (42) with peritonitis of moderate severity aged from 20 to 59 years old were examined. Calculation of prediction index of endogeneous intoxication using the proposed formula was made. RESULTS. Given clinical and laboratory data showed that the severity of peritonitis was caused by endogeneous intoxication, which was associated with intensification of lipid peroxidation process. The proposed index of prediction of endogenous intoxication allowed doctors to perform an accurate and adequate prevention of the possibility of endogeneous intoxication progress in acute pancreatitis. CONCLUSIONS. There was demonstrated the high efficacy of new integral criterion of prediction of endogeneous intoxication in acute peritonitis.
