Studied parameters were normal before surgery excluding serum iron and hemoglobin. Level of ferritin significantly increased by 160% and transferrin decreased by 78% in comparison with those in donors in 7 days postoperatively (p<0.05; Mann-Whitney criterion). Total iron binding capacity considerably reduced by 300%. There are significant changes of serum iron values from the 1st to the 7th days postoperatively. It is suggested the supposition about detoxication role of increased level of ferritin as one of the mechanisms explaining efficiency of intraoperative autoplasmachemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
