The significance of the proteinconnecting lipopolysaccharide with the main types of portal blood flow in liver cirrhosis
120 patients with liver cirrhosis were examined to study the content of proteinconnecting lipopolysaccharide in the blood. The changes of this indicator varies in wide range and may increase in patients with liver cirrhosis in the average of 3-5 times. The level of inherent immunity factors in general exceeds the normal values in 88 % of patients and its content in the blood depends on portal hypertension. The connection of changes in concentration of proteinconnecting lipopolysaccharide with type of portal blood flow in liver cirrhosis was established.
