title: [Sorption decholesterolization of the blood].
abstract: Results of haemosorption with the use of activated carbon IGI in patients with different diseases of the liver are given. It is shown that along with the toxic metabolites the method serves to remove a considerable quantity of cholesterol. It is surmised that haemosorption can become an effective method of control of hypercholesterolemia in atherosclerosis and its complications. The results of stand tests of sorbents specific for cholesterol are presented. A sorbent, synthesized from a metal-containing polymer was used for haemosorption in experiments on rabbits with alimentary hypercholesterolemia. Single haemosorption lasting 30 min led to a two-fold decrease of the cholesterol level in the blood and to a two-fold decrease of the damaged area in the aorta 4 weeks after operation.
