[The interrelationship of the intensity of free-radical oxidation to the level of serum bilirubin in lesions of the hepatobiliary system].

The level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products increases in the blood of patients with chronic diseases of the liver and acute cholecystitis with mechanical jaundice. The values normalize after surgery for acute cholecystitis, whereas therapy for chronic diseases of the liver virtually does not correct them. These data demonstrate the relationship between intensity of free-radical oxidation and severity of hepatobiliary process and between plasma content of LPO products and level of serum bilirubin.
