[Determination of the activity of lysosomal enzymes in the blood and of the morphometric indices in the peritoneum in acute diffuse peritonitis].

The dynamics of activity of lysosomal enzymes in the blood, morphometric indices in the parietal peritoneum was studied in 217 patients with acute diffuse peritonitis depending on the severity of the process. It was established that patients suffering of acute diffuse peritonitis through showing to a certain extent similar clinical picture differ, however, by their morphochemical indices. Comparing the activity of catepsin-D, relative specific volume of erythrocytes (V), density of distribution of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (N) it may be suggested that catepsin values over 16.9 ast. un (min, mg), V--over 0.4 conv. un., N over 4.04 conv. un indicate irreversible changes in the tissues.
