title: [Immunologic indices of the blood and interstitial fluid in the evaluation of the treatment of secondary edemas of the upper extremities].
abstract: The efficacy of therapy of upper limb secondary edemas after 4 programs was compared among 83 patients. The methods were as follows: traditional method (TM) including routine conservative therapy, acupuncture (AP), He-Ne laser OK-13 and semiconductor laser against a background of traditional therapy. A study was made of the time course of the extent of edema, total protein, IG, G, A and M and circulating immune complexes (CIC) during therapy of such patients. Blood serum and interstitial fluid indices were compared. TM and AP were accountable for 20-21% fluid discharge, LT--for 38-44%. Besides, semiconductor laser therapy increased IG discharge up to 44-55% of the initial amount.
