Immunologic reactivity and sorption detoxication of patients with acute peritonitis

: Follow-up using immunological monitoring of 233 acute peritonitis patients revealed various immunological shifts occurring at all levels postoperatively, with the therapeutic methods being common. Depression of specific immune response mechanisms (T- and B-systems) along with disinhibited phylogenetically old forms of the common biological phenomenon non-specific immunity (phagocytosis) is believed to reflect the common adaptive mechanism activated in emergencies in patients with peritonitis. With high levels, the toxin median molecular mass polypeptide in the complicated postoperative course, the immunological impairment is more pronounced, while restoration of immunological responsiveness of the organism becomes protracted, resulting in reduction of the cellular homeostasis and metabolism reserved. Application of the extracorporeal detoxication-hemosorption promotes adaptation buildup and makes immunity functioning optimal.
