BIOMICROSCOPY OF THE CAPILLARY FLOW - INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND EFFECTIVENESS OF PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS DIAGNOSTICS

Abstract

The goal – to evaluate the features and diagnostic value of the capillary bedbiomicroscopy results in various pathological conditions.Material and methods. The paper presents data on microcirculation study in patientsof various ages (adults and children) with different somatic pathologies (with diabetesmellitus, arterial hypertension, chronic gastroduodenitis, acute bronchitis) comparedwith healthy persons. The state of microcirculation was recorded using a digital USBmicroscope and evaluated by qualitative and semi quantitative assessment.Results. In patients with diabetes, the most changes in the form of capillariesand venules microaneurism, reduction of the functioning vessels number, slowingblood flow, decrease of arteriolo-venular coefficient were registered. In arterialhypertension, the signs of an increase in peripheral resistance were dominated, andin inflammatory diseases of the gastroduodenal zone and during bronchitis there wasa slowing of blood flow in arterioles and capillaries, an increase in the vascularity ofarterioles and the erythrocytes adhesion inside vessels.Conclusions. Biomicroscopy is simple and informative method for studyingmicrocirculation both chronic and acute diseases, the volume and nature of violationspredominantly depends on the type of pathology, its severity and duration.
