[Changes in biochemical and hematological indices during hemosorption in the acute period of the crush syndrome].

The clinical manifestations of toxemia and hemoconcentration were recorded in dogs in the early decompression period of the long-term crush syndrome. Hypermyoglobinemia and other fairly substantial biochemical shifts were discovered in the blood. During hemosorption with the use of coal adsorbents, the blood concentration of myoglobin, potassium and other ingredients was consistently reduced. Erythrocytosis caused by high hemoconcentration was noticed. There occurred redistributive leukopenia characteristic of hemosorption.
