[Metabolic disorders in digestive and hepatobiliary pathology in those who worked in the cleanup of the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
A clinical observation over 57 liquidators of the Chernobyl accident aftermath (ChAAL) with associated diseases of the digestive and hepato-biliary system revealed abnormalities in blood enzymic activity, presenting as elevation of, in particular, alanine aminotransferase as well as of asparagine aminotransferase, gamma-glutaminetranspeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and of blood mineral composition at the expense of an increase in certain minerals. Disturbances in underlying process of bodily metabolism promote the development and association of erosive and ulcerous lesions of the stomach and duodenum with chronic noncalculous cholecystitis, persistent hepatitis in ChAAL.
