title: [Effect of ultraviolet ray irradiation of blood on thrombocyte function and cholesterol level].
abstract: Action of the ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood on thrombocyte function and serum cholesterol values. By means of a screen pressure measurement in vitro in patients with arterial occlusive disease during the course of treatment with ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood a normalisation of thrombocyte functions is evident. This effect lasted up to a year after beginning of treatment. In the same time a significant diminuation of serum cholesterol levels appeared. The course of these parameters permits a theoretical confirmation of the observed good clinical long term effects of the ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood and corroborates the acceptability of this therapy in cardiological and vascular dispensaires.
