[Effects of different long-wave UV-irradiation doses on the composition and properties of blood in surgical patients].

Peculiarities of the action of a single 420 j/m2 dose and two doses of 840 j/m2 and long-wave (315-400 nm) UV radiation on blood were studied in 96 blood samples from patients with ulcer disease. It was found that photomodification of blood caused reduction of the amount of all formed elements in it. The dynamics of changes of the amount of all formed elements depends on the dose. In addition, functional properties of formed elements and some components of blood plasma are dependent on the irradiation dose. The changes found have widened the clinical use of this method of hemosorption.
