FEATURES OF CYTOKINE REGULATION IN PATIENTS WITH MECHANICAL JAUNDICE OF MALIGNANT GENESIS

Mechanical jaundice (MJ) of malignant genesis is a clinical syndrome caused by obturation of bile ducts due to malignant tumor growth. It is characterized by specific pigmentation of skin, mucous membranes and sclerae due to increased accumulation of bilirubin in blood serum and other fluids and tis...

description Mechanical jaundice (MJ) of malignant genesis is a clinical syndrome caused by obturation of bile ducts due to malignant tumor growth.
