[Laboratory methods for the diagnosis of postpericardiotomy syndrome].
The paper analyzes the diagnostic value of methods for the laboratory diagnosis of postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) in patients who have undergone open heart surgery. The prospective study included 63 patients, of whom 53 had the clinical manifestations of PPS. Ultrasensitive assay of serum procalcitonin and the determination of relative albumin levels in pleural and pericardial fluids are noted to be of high diagnostic value.
