Changes in Biochemical Indicators and Electrolytes in the Blood of Patients with Echinococcosis

Biochemical processes (peroxide, free radical oxidation; oxidative phosphorylation, tissue respiration and electrolyte metabolism) play a significant role in the pathogenesis of metabolic and structural disorders in various pathological conditions. The content of sodium and potassium in the blood plasma are rigid hemostatic constants, depending on the balance of the processes of entry and administration of ions, as well as their transformation between cells and the extracellular environment. Regulation of the homeostasis of these cations is carried out by changes in behavior (salt consumption) and with a decrease in humoral regulation, among which the aldosterone system and atrial natriuretic hormone are of primary importance. A study of the electrolyte composition of the blood plasma of patients with echinococcus found 1. a decrease in the level of calcium, zinc, and phosphates. There is an increase in magnesium levels. 2. A decrease in the content of calcium and zinc was detected in the serous fluid. 3. It is necessary to include calcium supplements in the complex therapy of echinococcosis.
