[Humoral factors of natural immunity in patients with neurologic manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis].

Abstract

Natural immunity parameters (the complement, beta-lysine, lysozyme) were examined in 179 patients with the non-radicular and radicular stages of lumbar osteochondrosis with regard to the disease stage, the patients' age and sex, the efficacy of treatment, and the latter's late results. It was found that the degree of the shifts of the parameters examined depended primarily on the disease stage and the efficacy of the treatment, and to lesser extent on the patients' age and sex. The parameters examined may serve to a certain measure as a objective criterion of the body's general physiological state, and can be used for predicting the disease outcome.
