EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC TREATMENT OF BLOOD ON SOME MECHANISMS OF ANEMIA CORRECTION IN PATIENTS WITH SEPISIS DURING EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD PURIFICATION

Background. Anemia is rather common in patients with sepsis and is associated with depression of erythropoiesis by septic mediators. Aim. To study the effect of magnetic treatment of blood on the mechanisms of anemia correction in patients with sepsis. Material and methods. Laboratory parameters of 232 patients with sepsis were under analysis. Magnetic treatment of blood was carried out using the apparatus «HemoSPOK» (Magnomed, Belarus). Results. The use of magnetic blood treatment did not lead to the decrease in the number of erythrocytes (before treatment – 3.63 (3.0; 4.42)×1012/l, after – 3.47 (3.18; 3.62)×1012/l, p=0.916512) and hemoglobin level (before treatment – 109.5 (92.0; 129.0) g/l, after – 106.9 (91.0; 113.0) g/l, p=0.776105). The concentration of iron in blood increased from 5.83 (4.21; 7.13) to 10.0 (6.03; 13.80) μmol/l (p=0.027993). There was a simultaneous rise in ferritin from 210.3 ( 20.5; 311.6) to 545.1 (250.2; 813.2) ng/ml (p=0.027709). Conclusion: Magnetic treatment of blood prevents the development of anemia in patients with sepsis.
