[Oxidase activity of ceruloplasmin and the state of hemocoagulation in patients with chronic pancreatitis].

We examined oxidase activity of ceruloplasmin, fibrinogen content in the blood serum and the state of hemocoagulation in 80 patients with chronic pancreatitis of different etiology. The presence of ceruloplasmin was considered to be paraphenylenediamine oxidase. It was shown that at the acute stage of the disease oxidase activity of ceruloplasmin is increased and depends on the severity, duration and presence of complications. An increase of the anti-oxidant action protein content is accompanied by hypercoagulation and an increase of the fibrinogen content. Data are given on the availability of correlation relationship between the fibrinogen content and general blood coagulation constant.
