The aim: to study the peculiarities of changes in integrative indicators of endogenous intoxication, reactivity and activity of inflammation in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C, and with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.
Materials and methods. 19 patients with chronic viral hepatitis B (HBV) and chronic viral hepatitis C (HCV) with chronic renal failure and patients with chronic kidney disease (KD) were examined. Comparison group included 40 healthy blood donors. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory examination was performed. Indicators of endogenous intoxication, nonspecific reactivity and inflammatory activity were calculated and analyzed using statistical criteria (M±m, Student's test and Mann–Whitney test).
Results: an increase in the integrative indicators of endogenous intoxication in patients with the combined pathology of chronic KD and chronic viral hepatitis (VH) is a consequence of the activation of tissue disintegration, cytolysis of hepatocytes and a significant impairment of liver function. A change in the indices of non-specific inflammation indicate expressed activity of the inflammatory process and immunological disorder of reactivity. These changes also suggest decompensated endotoxicosis, as a possible consequence of a chronic infectious process and decompensated endogenous intoxication.
Indicators of leukocyte intoxication index (LII), leukocyte shift index (ISL), hematological intoxication index (HII), intoxication index severity (IIS), immunoreactivity index (IR), neutrophil-monocyte ratio (NMR) are increased in all patients with chronic KD, which may be related to the actual cause of development – glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, concomitant pathology. More pronounced deviations were found in men of both groups than in women, which may be related to greater adherence to diet, water load between hemodialysis procedures in the latter.
Conclusions. Patients receiving invasive manipulations, including hemodialysis, belong to the risk group and are more susceptible, taking into account immunodeficiency, to infection with hepatitis viruses than the general population. CVH is one of the most common types of lesions in them. The obtained changes, namely, a more pronounced increase in the integrative indicators of endogenous intoxication, in patients with the combined pathology of CKD and CVH indicate the activation of the processes of tissue decay, cytolysis of hepatocytes and significant liver function impairment. At the same time, a change in indices of non-specific inflammation indicates a pronounced activity of the inflammatory process and an immunological disorder of reactivity. A clear systemic reaction to inflammatory processes in the body of patients is determined, the probable development of decompensated endogenous intoxication, which is possible consequence of a chronic infectious process. A simultaneous increase in ISL and a decrease in ILG was established, which is associated with the development of endogenous intoxication and a violation of immunological reactivity due to autointoxication of the body. A decrease in Ilymph indicates an active adaptive reaction of white blood cells and a cell-type immunodeficiency, in particular, a decrease in non-specific anti-infective protection. Indicators of LII, ISL, HII, IIS, IR, NMR are increased in all patients with CKD, which may be related to the actual cause of development – glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, etc. The difference of integrative indicators between men and women was established, more pronounced deviations from normal were found in men of both groups than in women, which may be associated with greater adherence to diet, water load between hemodialysis procedures in the latter.
