Introduction. Cystatin C is one of the markers of acute kidney injury, which have a greater sensitivity than the level of blood creatinine. There are separate publications that the dynamic determination of the level of cystatin C in the blood can be useful for predicting the course of the pathological process and the risk of transition of acute injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD).

This article is devoted to the description of the method of extracorporeal indirect electrochemical oxidation (EIEBO) in patients with infectious inflammatory complications and grade I endotoxicosis. The distinguishing feature of the EIEBO from the adopted intracorporeal method of oxidation is that blood is being processed using 0.06% solution of the sodium hypochlorite (SH) within the venous extracorporeal line, created using special equipment.

In this study we have investigated the influence of sodium hypochlorite (SH) on the blood leukocytes in rats (experimental part) and the possible applications of SH in patients with acute pyelonephritis. Experimental part was performed on 35 white inbreed male rats. Clinical part included 2 groups of patients from urological clinic.

Objective - to examine the possibility of application of flow cytometry to characterize the state of human sperm cells (viability) and the comparison of the results with the light microscopy as a conventional method in andrology. The study used vital dyes that detect damage to the cell membranes: eosin - for light microscopy and propidium iodide - for flow cytometry.

A lot of attention has been paid to evaluation of host immune system status for prognosis of acute pyelonephritis and system inflammatory response. It is known that strength and quality of the host immune response depend on balance between apoptosis and cell proliferation processes.
