METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING POST-TRAUMATIC HEMARTHROSIS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61B5/00 G01N33/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to clinical laboratory diagnostics, and can be used to diagnose post-traumatic hemarthrosis by laboratory examination of the joint aspirate. In the aspirate, the concentration of haptoglobin is determined. At a level of values of 0.3 g/l or more, a conclusion is made about the presence of post-traumatic hemarthrosis. If the concentration of haptoglobin in the aspirate is less than 0.3 g/l, the conclusion about the absence of post-traumatic hemarthrosis is made.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to simplify and accelerate the determination of post-traumatic hemarthrosis in a patient with a high reliability of the diagnosis of the disease by determining the concentration of haptoglobin, which serves to bind free hemoglobin during hemolysis of erythrocytes, in the aspirate, which, therefore, can be associated with the establishment of the presence of hemoglobin of destructing erythrocytes in hemarthrosis.
