EVALUATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF VASCULAR WALLS IN PATIENTS WITH DISEASES OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS
This article presents the data of a survey of 64 patients with reactive dystrophic (RDD) and inflammatory diseases of the salivary glands (SG) aged from 20 to 55 years. It found that in the case of RDD of the SG, in contrast to healthy individuals, there is an increase in the serum content of not only homocysteine, but also endothelin I. The obtained data allow us to conclude that in patients of this category there are significant violations of the thrombosis resistance of the vascular wall, which manifested by changes in the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic properties of the endothelium. It revealed that with this pathology, there is an increase in the serum content of not only homocysteine, but also endothelin I
