Professional motivation

Blood loss frequently occures both in peace, and  military time. During first and second world wars blood loss was  the reason of death of  30-33 % of wounded.  Preservation of life of blood lost victim depends on time and the medical measures thet would be provided . It is necessary to take into account, that the consequences of blood loss depends  not only on the amount  of  blood loss, but also both from speed of blood loss and for reactivity of the organism. The hardness of blood loss is evaluated, mainly  accordiny to disturbance of hemodynamic and physic and chemical parameters of blood. The main principle  of pathogenetic therapy - transfusion of blood and blood substitues with the purpose of correction the hemodynamic  parameters and stimulation of blood formation.

The liquid state of blood is provided with difficult interaction of three systems – coagulative, ancoagulative and fibrinolytic. Alteration each of them can cause to decrease or increase of coagulation of blood. The decrease of coagulation(hypocoagulation) appears like hemorrhagic syndrome. It’s appears as results of alteration thrombocytous-vessels hemostatic(thrombocytopenia and thrombocytopathia) or disturbance of various stages of coagulation of blood (hemophilia A, B, C, afibrinogenemia). The increase of coagulation of blood (hypercoagulation) is considered as major mechanism formation of thrombus. One of the most serious consequences is alteration of hemostasis, which includes both hyper- and hypocoagulation, is syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation of blood – DIC-syndrome. It develops as complication in traumatic, anaphilaxic or cardiogenic shock, malignant tumours, acute kidney insufficiency, exfoliation of placenta, septicemia, massive hemolysis. The consequences of disturbances coagulation of blood quite often acquire menancing character and demand emergency measures from the medical staff.

Anemia appears on the base of various diseases, intoxycations, bloodloss. Therefore clinicists of various specialities often find them in the practical activity. The quantitative changes erythrocytes and hemoglobin are one of the most important parameters for diagnosis of anemia and its treatment. Changes of these parameters also judge about effect of treatment. Using the quantitative characteristics of erythrocytes and haemoglobin gives possibility to define one more clinicaly important parameter - colour index. Basing on a colour index one can judge about the saturation of erythrocytes by haemoglobin. The value of a colour index (norm, decrease, increase) has diagnostic mean.

Steady growth of number of leucosis among the population of many countries of the world and high lethality demand steadfast attention to the given pathology. Preventive measures have the large significance in struggle with leucosis. Therefore it is important for the future doctor to acquire existing submissions about etilogy of leucosis (chemical cancerogens, ionizating radiation, virus infection). Each form of leucosis differs by characteristic shifts of cytostructure of peripheral blood and bone marrow. On these features differential diagnostics of leucosis is constructed. It is necessary to mark that the therapy of leucosis mainly pathogenetic. The deepening of our submissions about separate chains of pathogenesis will promote perfecting of purposeful treatment. Leucocytosis and leucopenias are considered as a reaction hematopoietic system due to action of physiological and pathological irritations. Leucocytosis is a pathological symptom of many diseases. In a basis of leucocytosis lay pathophysiological mechanisms connected with proliferation, maturation going out of leucocytes and their flow into vessels and redestribution. Different kinds of leucocytosis may be the additional criteri for establish the diagnosis. Eosinophilia, for example, is characterized for allergy reactions, neutrophile leucocytosis - for acute inflamation processes. Leucopenia may depend upon oppressive influence of some toxines on the maturation and outflow of leucocytes from the bone-marrow. Often these phenomenas are observed during the infectious diseases. They have significanse for the differential diagnostic. If for the disease is characterised leucocytosis, the availability of leucopenia testifies on depression of hemopoietic system. It is regarded as a criteri weakenes of reactivity of the body on action of pathological factors. Directness and character of changes of white blood cells due to various diseases - significant for the diagnosis and control of the treatment.
