[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the disease course and blood coagulation function in patients with acute viral hepatitis].

The paper is concerned with an analysis of clinico-biochemical indices and 14 parameters of the plasmatic and platelet links of hemostasis in 29 patients with acute virus hepatitis of a varying degree of severity treated by hyperbaric oxygenation and in 40 controls. HBO made a modulating effect on most indices of hemocoagulation and fibrinolysis bringing them nearer to a certain standard which was optimum for a certain stage and degree of AVH. Probable mechanisms of the HBO effect on various indices of homeostasis in AVH and clinico-pathogenetic importance of the state of hemocoagulation against a background of HBO-therapy were discussed.
