METHOD FOR EVALUATING FUNCTIONAL HEPATIC STATE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS AND CIRRHOSIS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: in patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis one should detect viscous characteristics of clotting blood of reaction period r, total value of reaction and spontaneous clot lysis F and the value for thrombin activity Kk. At 25-30% increase of reaction period r, 35- 40% decrease of Kk value, F value increase by 40-50% one should determine a compensated stage of cirrhosis, at 50-100% decrease of r value, 20-40% increase of Kk value and higher F value - a subcompensated stage of cirrhosis is detected, at 25-30% decrease of r value, 50-100% decrease of Kk value and at no increase of F value it is possible to establish a decompensated stage of cirrhosis. Application of the method enables to reliably conclude on a stage of pathological process. EFFECT: higher efficiency of evaluation. 1 dwg
