METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF REMOTE IMMUNOLOGICAL EFFECT OF ALGAE APPLICATIONS IN OSTEOARTHROSIS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/487 G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: patient's blood is examined for the content of the immune messenger interleukin-2 before and after the first procedure, before and after the therapeutic course including 10 applications. At first, a level shift of the parameter is evaluated immediately after the first procedure that is followed by prediction on the basis of the single level shift of blood interleukin-2, of the level shift of the parameter 6 months later by calculation by formula Yr=0.96 Xn+11.05 wherein Xn is the single level shift of interleukin-2, Yr is its remote shift. The course shift Xc calculated by formula Yr=1.16Xc - 28.3 provides a basis to predict the remote shift of the parameter Yr 6 months after the therapeutic course.

EFFECT: use of the declared method provides more effective prediction of the remote immunological effect of resort therapy.
