METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CLINICAL COURSE OF CHRONIC CALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: DNA is recovered from patient's peripheral venous blood to detect TNF gene polymorphism. If observing -308GA and -308AA genotypes, a severe course of chronic calculous cholecystitis with frequent alternating exacerbations is predicted. -308GG genotype detected enables predicting moderate and mild courses of chronic calculous cholecystitis of recurrent or monotonous pattern. ^ EFFECT: use of the method allows to predict the clinical course and severity of chronic calculous cholecystitis in a relatively short time. ^ 1 tbl, 1 ex
