title: [Changes in the level of selected laboratory parameters in blood after implantation of chitosan fibers].
abstract: The tests were carried out on rats of the Wistar tribe to the peritoneal cavity of which chitosan fibres were implanted. The blood for the tests was taken in 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days after the implantation. In the blood hematological, biochemical and clotting system parameters were marked. Moreover they made pathomorphological tests of the tissues surrounding the implanted material and laboratory and biological tests of aqueous extracts from chitosan fibres. The shown quantitative changes in the level of the marked parameters of blood to the 14th day of observation are connected mainly with toxicity of chitosan fibres, whereas to the 30th and 60th day-with the process of biodegradation and resorption of collagenous fibres.
