METHOD FOR PREDICTING DEGREE OF ATHEROSCLEROTIC LESION IN BLOOD VESSELS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, laboratory diagnostics. SUBSTANCE: one should carry out microscopic studying of blood serum, moreover, the sample of blood serum at the volume of 0.02 ml is applied onto slide's surface, covered with a cover glass, dehydrated for 48-72 h at 20-25 C and relative moisture of 60-70%, as for microscopic studying, it is carried out in dark field with partially crossed polarizers and at the presence of structures in the form of fern-like dendrites one should diagnose the absence of sclerotic vascular lesion, and at the presence of lamellar structures - the onset of atherosclerotic vascular lesion, when one reveals singular anisotropic inclusions in lamellar structures it is possible to diagnose moderate degree of vascular lesion, and in case of predominant quantity of anisotropic inclusions in lamellar structures - severe degree of arteriosclerosis is stated on. EFFECT: higher efficiency of diagnostics. 4 dwg, 4 ex
