title: CHARACTER AND FREQUENCY OF THE VARIATIONS OF CO- AND POLYMORBID SYNTROPIC EXTRAHEPATIC LESIONS AND THEIR DEPENDENCE ON THE HEPATOPULMONARY SYNDROME SEVERITY DEGREE IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS.
abstract: In this study, we comprehensively examined 93 patients with liver cirrhosis, selected in a randomized manner, with the preliminary stratification by the presence of hepatopulmonary syndrome with the aim to study the nature and frequency of extrahepatic syntropic lesions of organs and systems and their dependence on the severity of lung injury that is necessary for the appointment of the most effective individualized comprehensive treatment. The results of our calculations showed that with the increasing of the hepatopulmonary syndromeseverity degree, the nature and the frequency of the syntropic co- and polymorbid functional and organic extrahepatic lesions of the organs and body systems was significantly (p<0.05) changing. Also some polymorbid disorders' combinations and/or combined variants of the syndromes and nosologies have been increasing in case of growing the severity of the hepatopulmonary syndrome, that shows their significant (p<0.05) dependency.
