[Rheological indicators of blood in patients with suppurative processes in the abdominal cavity].

Rheological properties of blood were studied in dynamics in 33 patients with different localization of purulent processes in the abdominal cavity. It was found that in patients with a limited purulent process the alterations of blood rheology corresponded to the clinical status of the patients and their parameters has a tendency to increase. In patients with generalized purulent processes the alterations of blood rheology did not correspond to the degree of the inflammatory process and pointed to manifestation of signs of coagulopathy of consumption requiring special many-component infusion-transfusion therapy.
