[Final products of lipid peroxidation in various liver diseases of alcoholic etiology].

The content of lipid peroxidation products in the plasma of patients with various forms of alcohol-induced liver disorders was investigated. Plasma levels of lipid hydroperoxides in this group of patients were found to be the same as in healthy controls. Plasma content of fluorescent products of lipid oxidation was significantly elevated in patients suffering from acute alcoholic hepatitis and active alcoholic liver cirrhosis, and especially in patients with edematoascitic syndrome. The dynamics of fluorescent product plasma level reduction significantly correlated with the improvement of clinical status in the treatment of abstinent patients.
