[Effect of long-term administration of low-molecular dextran (40,000) on the blood levels of inorganic phosphorus and lipid-bound phosphorus in patients with cerebral infarction].

The effect of low-molecular dextran given on 6 days after cerebral infarction onset on the content of inorganic phosphorus and lipid-bound phosphorus was studied in 22 patients. The obtained results were compared with those in a control group. Low-molecular dextran caused a statistically significant decrease of the serum lipid-bound phosphorus level in healthy subjects and in patients, which was most pronounced on the sixth day of successive dextran administration, while it had no effect on serum inorganic phosphorus in the studied subjects.
