Complex examination of 296 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower extremities was carried out. Prog-nostically significant clinical, hemodynamic, hemostatic, immunological characteristics, markers of endothelial dysfunction and changes in lipid profile in patients were studied. Pathogenetic system of disease prognosis was worked out as a result of multifactor analysis where the index of course of disease was accounted. When the index was lower than + 13, obliterating atherosclerosis was not considered as progressive. Progressive atherosclerosis was determined with the index over the point +13
