ABSTRACT

Commonly seen in liquidators of the effects of the Chernobyl accident are affections of the liver (chronic hepatitis) and bile tract (chronic calculous cholecystitis) accompanied by IHD. The above patients demonstrate enhancement of the antioxidant defence in the blood with the values for free-radical peroxidation remaining unchanged. Absolute values for blood content of LTV4 in chronic active hepatitis were found out to be low, which fact suggests that such patients need to be kept under periodic oncological surveillance.
