GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS

Abstract

The work is based on the analysis of the conducted studies in two areas, interconnected by the course of a single pathological process - the transformation of the liver due to acute and then chronic viral process of liver transformation due to acute and then chronic viral damage into a cirrhotic organ, and then chronic viral damage into a cirrhotic organ, blocking portal circulation with the development of bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus and stomach. The first area of the conducted studies is close to the epidemiological. It is associated with the analysis of the dynamics of the number of patients with acute and chronic forms of viral hepatitis registered in medical institutions of the Khorezm region. The climatic and geographical conditions of this region of the Aral Sea region correspond to the arid zone, the influence of which on the processes of chronic inflammation of the liver, the processes of formation of complications of portal hypertension cannot be considered sufficiently studied. The total number of registered cases of acute viral hepatitis for the 25-year analyzed period (from 1975 to 1999) in the Khorezm region was 198,258. This chronological period is divided into three, with a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the intensive indicator for each of them, and a more detailed analysis of the structure of patients who fell ill over the past decade. For a ten-year period (1990-1999), an analysis was made of the dynamics and structure of patients with chronic viral hepatitis, the total number of which, according to the results of registration in medical institutions of the region, was 1759.
