METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF POSTOPERATIVE SUPPURATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM COLORECTAL CANCER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N33/52 G01N33/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and aims at the prediction of postoperative suppurative complications in patients suffering from colorectal cancer by a dynamic blood test. On the 2^nd and 5^th postoperative day, blood plasma of the patient suffering from colorectal cancer is examined for C-reactive protein (CRP). If the 5^th-day CRP level is less than 10.0 mg/dl, a relatively mild postoperative course is predicted. If the CRP level decreases in relation to the second postoperative day, a risk of the complications is considered to be low. If the CRP level increases in relation to the second postoperative day or remains unchanged, a risk of the complications is moderate. If the 5^th-day CRP level is more than 10.0 mg/dl, a risk of the postoperative suppurative complications is considered to be high.

EFFECT: invention provides the effective prediction of the suppurative complications in the patients on the second and fifth day following colorectal cancer surgery.
