[Dynamics of biochemical indices in a favorable course of sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs]. / Dinamika nekotorykh biokhimicheskikh pokazatelei pri blagopriiatnom techenii sarkoidoza organov dykhaniia.

Sarcoidosis ran a favourable course in 166 out of 179 patients. The active phase of sarcoidosis was characterized by dysproteinemia, high content of histamine, STH and beta-lipoproteins together with a decrease of HPI and total protein. More remarkable shifts were observed in patients afflicted with sarcoidosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes and of the lungs. In the phase of regression, there was a unidirectional change in the majority of the parameters, which correlated with the process liability to the reverse development. It may be recommended that the content of histamine, HPI and beta-lipoproteins should be measured along with other parameters to estimate the process activity in patients with respiratory sarcoidosis.
