title: [State of hemostasis during naphthalane treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower limbs].
abstract: A total of 67 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the vessels of low extremities were followed up in the treatment at the Naphthalane health resort. The patients with the disease stages I, IIA and IIB were subjected to sitting and general naphthalane bath therapy. The studied patients were investigated for the values of the blood coagulation and functional abilities of thrombocytes before and after naphthalane treatment. Analysis of the results obtained demonstrated a favourable effect of naphthalane on hemostasis displaying hypocoagulative effect and improving the blood viscosity. The use of naphthalane as a multiprofile factor in the treatment of the aforementioned patients was found to be advisable and could be considered as a pathogenetic method of treatment for those suffering from this disease.
