METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CLINICAL COURSE OF REPARATIVE REGENERATION FOLLOWING SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF MECHANICAL INJURY OF LIVER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N33/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to clinical and experimental abdominal surgery, and can be used to assess the clinical course of reparative regeneration following surgical management of a mechanical injury of the liver. Substance of the method: on the 3^rd and 7^th postoperative day, blood serum is examined for alpha-fetoprotein, and a regeneration coefficient (RC) is calculated by formula: $$RC=\frac{AF{P}_7}{AF{P}_3},$$ wherein: RC is the regeneration coefficient in standard units; AFP₇ is blood serum alpha-fetoprotein (ng/ml) on the 3^rd postoperative day; AFP₃ is blood serum alpha-fetoprotein (ng/ml) on the 7^th postoperative day; if the RC value is 1.0 and more standard units, a slow clinical course of reparative regeneration is predicted.

EFFECT: invention provides higher accuracy and simplified procedure of the prediction of the clinical course of reparative regeneration following surgical management of the mechanical injury of the liver.
