METHOD FOR TREATING CHRONIC HEPATITIS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying pulsating laser radiation of 0.89 mcm wavelength, 1500 Hz frequency in contact mode to region of liver. Peripheral capillary blood circulation state is preliminarily tested on the background and after exposing the zone under study to laser radiation. Laser treatment is carried out sequentially in points of intersection of the last intercostal space to its right with median clavicular, anterior and posterior axillary lines and in points near the epigastrium region in case blood circulation is increased. Power density in each point is 0.0025 J/cm², course duration is 7-10 procedures. Exposition is calculated with laser radiation parameters and adjustment coefficient which value depends on age and sex of a patient taken into account. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 1 tbl
