[Development and optimization of diagnostically informative boichemical and coagulative correlators in various atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries].

Diagnostically informative biochemical and coagulative correlators in various atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries are developed. It has been established positive correlation of the degree of stenosis and intima-media thickness of carotid arteries with the following biochemical parameters: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo-B, Lp(a), triglycerides, hs-C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukines (IL-1ß and IL-6), fibrinogen, D-dimers. Negative correlation was stated with respect to HDL cholesterol, Apo-A-1, protein C. The established correlators of carotid intima-medial layer and the studied laboratory indices favour their inclusion into carotid atherosclerosis monitoring.
