ASSESSMENT OF CONDITION OF ADAPTIVE-REPARATIVE RESPONSES BY THE CONTENT OF COMPONENTS OF CARBOHYDRATE-CONTAINING PROTEINS IN THE BLOOD SERUM OF PSORIASIS PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SEVERITY

The aim of the study is to assess the condition of adaptive-reparative responses at different stages of clinical course of psoriasis by the content of hexose and sialic acid in the blood serum. Ninety-seven psoriatic patients were examined. The level of hexose and sialic acids was assessed by the colorimetric method. The results showed gradual development of destructive or disorganizing processes in connective-tissue structures as far as the illness progressed, which indirectly reflected gradual decrease of activity of adaptive-reparative responses.
