Bilirubin is not a liver function parameter exclusively: its concentration correlates with ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk, estimated glomerular filtration rate, retinopathy or neuropathy in diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis etc.\u0000The aim of this paper was to estimate the clinical value of bilirubin analysis according to literature data and own clinical observations in patients with IHD and acute and chronic rheumatologic diseases.\u0000Materials and methods. We conducted a literature overview in Pubmed database and domestic sources and also analyzed the standard examinaions of 515 patients: 353 patients with coronary heart disease (acute forms, coronary bypass grafting – 98; acute myocardial infarction, pharmacotherapy – 75; unstable angina pectoris – 101; stable angina pectoris – 79) and 162 rheumatologic patients (haemorrhagic vasculitis – 71; rheumatic fever – 57; chronic rheumatic heart disease with valvular defects – 34). Control group consisted of 22 patients with gastroduodenal zone diseases without helicobacter (esophagitis, gastritis, peptic ulcer).\u0000\u0000Results and discussion. It was revealed that in case of diseases with oxidative stress in their pathogenesis (acute forms of coronary heart disease, haemorrhagic vasculitis, rheumatic fever) bilirubin level was lower than in case of non-oxidative disorders (non-infectious esophagitis, gastritis, ulcer). Increase of inflammation potency was accompanied by bilirubin decrease. Correlation analysis showed that both bilirubin increase and decrease were unfavourable.\u0000Conclusions. Bilirubin concentration correlated with parameters of cytolysis, intoxication, anemia, inflammation, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, heart structure. Bilirubin decrease associated with the increase of stenosis of coronary arteries (left, left circumflex and anterior interventricular) in a logarithmic way. Hypobilirubinemia (< 9.6 mkmol/L) significantly more often accompanied diseases with oxidative stress in pathogenesis, acute forms and more active systemic inflammation.\u0000\u0000Keywords\u0000total bilirubin, hypobilirubinemia, coronary heart disease, haemorrhagic vasculitis, rheumatic fever, chronic rheumatic heart disease.","PeriodicalId":315243,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Ukrainian Medical Journal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124543482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The control group consisted of 90 patients with CKD of І–ІІІ stage with normal body weight (group 3). To determine the dependence of the NAFLD course on the form and stage of the CKD, the group of patients was randomized according to age, sex, degree of obesity, and activity of NASH.\u0000Research results. The study of fibrinolytic activity of blood showed that total fibrinolytic activity (TFA) of blood plasma in patients of all groups was significantly lower than the control indexes: in patients with NAS – by 7.1%, patients with NAS with CKD – by 14.9%, patients with NASH – by 17.2%, patients with NASH with CKD – by 18.9%, patients with CKD – by 10.6% (p <0.05) with the presence of a probable intergroup difference between groups with comorbidity and isolated course of CKD (p <0.05). The suppression of TFA occurred through the decrease of EF: in patients with NAS the index is significantly lower than that in the controls by 1.2 times, in patients with NAS with CKD – by 1.4 times, in patients with NASH – by 1.7 times, in the group of patients with NASH and CKD – by 1.9 times, while in the group of patients with CKD, the suppression of EF was registered – 1.3 times (p <0.05).
