CYTOKINE PROFILE IN COMPLICATIONS OF HORMONE THERAPY ADMINISTERED FOR UTERINE FIBROIDS

Uterine fibroids take a second place in the structure of gynecological diseases, after inflammation of genital organs, with a share of 40%. The aim of the study was to investigate cytokine profile and factors of immune dysfunction in patients with uterine fibroids complicated by hemorrhagic syndrome...
