Detoxification measures as a component of the complex therapy of degenerative diseases of the locomotor system
There have been noted etiological factors that influence the occurrence and development of arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, malignant neoplasms, degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and other diseases with a common pathogenetic mechanism in the form of chronic systemic inflammation. The medico-social significance of increasing the effectiveness of the treatment of these diseases and the importance of searching for its new methods taking into account modern ideas about pathogenesis are indicated. Pathogenetically justified the need for intestinal purification as a method of detoxification at the early stages of complex rehabilitation therapy of the listed pathology. Separate anatomical and functional features of the intestine and existing methods of its purification have been described. The article presents the scheme of intestinal purification developed by the authors, which includes a purifying enema, monitor purification of the large intestine using solutions containing extracts of herbs, sorbents and probiotics, subsequent use of probiotics for 2 weeks and periodic administration of lactulose preparations in the long-term period. The results of its use in 80 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints, which indicated a reduction in the duration of therapy and an increase in the duration of remissions, have been studied. The effectiveness of the developed method of monitor bowel purification in the complex treatment of other systemic diseases (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dorsopathy, etc.) is also shown.
