IMMUNOPATHOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE FORMS OF COXARTHROSIS

Abstract

Abstract. The authors suggest a hypothesis about possible role of specific immune reactions in pathogenesis of severe clinical forms of dysplastic coxarthrosis. It is proposed to apply relative and absolute lymphocytosis scores in peripheral blood, as well as increased levels of serum IgA, as screening indices that allow of classifying the patients into the high-risk group for possible post-surgical complications.
