[Multiple organ failure as a manifestation of immune dysregulation of reparative processes in the organs during critical states].

The authors claim that the specific clinical symptoms of multiple organ failure (MOF) are explained by impaired interactions of two functionally related systems: the immune system (IS) responsible for regeneration and the reticuloendothelial system (RES) responsible for inflammation. Organ regeneration during MOF is suppressed as a result of suppressed morphogenetic function of lymphocytes, imbalanced macrophage-lymphocyte interactions, and RES hyperactivation. For prevention and treatment of MOF, the authors recommend stimulation of reparative processes in the organs by splenic therapy: assisted xenospleen, infusion of splenic perfusate or xenosplenic peptides.
