  • Title: [Vascular permeability, microcirculation and biologically active substances in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
    Author: Fedorchenko IuL, Sirotin BZ, Rozhkovskaia EN.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1990; 62(6):71-4. PubMed ID: 1977204.
    Abstract:
    As many as 56 patients with associated hemorrhagic fever and the renal syndrome were examined for vascular permeability, microcirculation and blood plasma histamine, serotonin, kallikrein and prekallikrein. In all the disease periods, the majority of the patients (n-52) demonstrated a rise of vascular permeability for protein and liquid part of the plasma, with this being marked in particular in the oligoanuric period. Besides, significant perivascular and intravascular changes in microcirculation were noted in the oligoanuric and polyuric disease periods. It was established during examination of biologically active substances that the greatest shifts were experienced by the kinin system. Sometimes the content of kallikrein surpassed the control values more than 7-fold. Less pronounced changes were seen in blood plasma serotonin and histamine. A direct correlation was established between vascular permeability, microcirculation and the content of all biologically active substances explored by the authors. The strongest correlation was found to exist between the above parameters and the kinin system of blood plasma.
