Organ antibodies were studied after immunothermistometry treatment in 205 patients with chronic diseases of the liver. One group of patients was treated by routine methods in accordance with the diagnosis, while the second group of patients was additionally given hemodes. Before treatment organ antibodies were revealed in 31 patients (70.4%) with liver cirrhosis, in 44 (55%) with chronic hepatitis and 45 (55.5%) in chronic pancreatitis. After treatment these were respectively 9 (20.5%), 15 (18.7%) and 15 (18.5%). Depending on the treatment antibodies were more frequently eliminated in the first group of patients in chronic hepatitis. In liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis there was no significant difference between the two groups of patients.
