[Diagnostic value of determining plasma levels of middle molecule toxins in patients with mechanical jaundice].

On the basis of complex examination of 54 patients with obstructive jaundice, the authors show the diagnostic value of testing the level of middle-mass molecules for qualitative appraisal of the severity of the intoxication as well as for determination of the rational tactics in the management of patients with obstructive jaundice. With the use of the test for middle-mass molecules, the volume of nonoperative therapy and the time for the operative interventions will be determined more rationally, as the result of which the results of treatment of this severe disease will improve.
