[Diagnostic and prognostic significance of membranodestructive process in mechanic jaundice and phlegmonous cholecystitis in patients with diabetes mellitus].

Investigations performed in 96 patients with diabetes mellitus and acute biliary pathology (phlegmonous cholecystitis, mechanic jaundice) have found the relationships between plasma lypoperoxidation, degree of hepatodepression and kind of inflammation in the gall bladder. The level of glycemia and degree of transferasemia (cytolytic syndrome) are not reliable criteria of acute hepatic insufficiency and pyoinflammatory process in the biliary tracts. The choice of the complex of membrane-stabilizing drugs should be based on the severity and pattern of endotoxicosis.
