[ULCER DAMAGE TO THE GASTROINTESTINAL PATH ASSOCIATED WITH HYPERTENSION AS A MANIFESTATION OF COMORBIDITY AMONG RAILWAY WORKERS].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The investigation of clinical and laboratory parameters that characterize the pathogenetic connections of association of ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and hypertension as work-related diseases among workers of locomotive brigades.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

192 railway workers were examined. The level of general clinical and biochemical parameters in the blood serum were investigated.

RESULTS

Due to the syntopy of duodenal ulcers and (or) the stomach and hypertension on the background of the negative impact of harmful factors of production the abnormalities in the vascular endothelium with signs of systemic inflammation are revealed.

CONCLUSION

The identified parameters can be considered as an early predictor of formation of hypertension as well as a comorbid flow of duodenal ulcers and (or) of the stomach and hypertension, assessing it as work-related diseases.
