METHOD OF PREDICTING DEVELOPMENT OF SCARS AFTER PREVIOUS ACNE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/52 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to methods of predicting post-operational complications, namely to methods of predicting development of scars after previous acne. In order to predict scar development content of receptor antagonist of interleukin-1 (RAIL) is determined during 15 days after resolution of inflammatory process. Scarless development of process is diagnosed at level RAIL in peripheral blood serum after disease being within physiological norm (300-800 pg/ml). If level of RAIL is lower than said norm prediction of acne complication in form of skin scars is diagnosed. Possibility of development of hypertrophic scars is predicted if RAIL concentration is lower than 200 pg/ml.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to predict type of complications after previous acne, therefore correcting therapy carried out in due time can prevent risk of skin scar formation and improve patient's life quality.
