METHOD OF PROGRESS FORECAST FOR CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: immunological examination is performed to define immunocompetent cell (ICC) capability to produce transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). At spontaneous level of TGF-β1≥1122.71±20.6 pg/ml and bFGF≤7.2±0.08 pg/ml, favourable course of chronic obstructive lung disease is forecast with decrease of forced expiratory volume in 1^st second not more than by 50 ml per year, and at spontaneous level of TGF-β1≤1025,±11.7 pg/ml and bFGF 40.1±0.9 pg/ml, unfavourable course of chronic obstructive lung disease is forecast with decrease of forced expiratory volume in 1^st second more than by 50 ml per year. Invention application allows for higher forecast accuracy, faster examination duration and higher reliability and descriptiveness of examination. Forecast of possible progress of chronic obstructive lung disease is necessary for differentiated, timely efficient treatment.

EFFECT: faster forecast of chronic obstructive lung disease progress by cytokine secretion level.
