METHOD OF NON-INVASIVE DETERMINATION OF LIVER ACIDITY IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to infectious diseases. In order to carry out non-invasive determination of liver acidity in patients with chronic hepatitis C, pH-meter of biological material is carried out. Level of skin acidity in area of red border of lips (RBL) is measured by means of pH-meter. If values of RBL skin pH are lower than 4.98 units, expressed increase of liver acidity is stated. If values of RBL skin pH vary from 4.98 units to 5.76 units, moderate increase of liver acidity level is determined. If values of RBL skin pH are higher than 5.76 units, minimal increase of liver acidity level is determined.;EFFECT: method makes it possible to determine liver acidity in patients with chronic hepatitis C by a non-invasive method.;2 ex, 1 tbl
