IMPACT OF NUTRITIONAL CORRECTION OF PROTEIN METABOLISM DISORDERS ON THE CLINICAL COURSE OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Objective The aim: To study the impact of nutritional correction of protein metabolism disorders on the clinical course of pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients and methods Materials and methods: The study involved 67 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, which were divided into two groups: group I - 35 patients who underwent nutritional correction of protein metabolism disorders against the background of antimycobacterial therapy (AMBT) and group II - 32 patients who received standard AMBT. An assessment of clinical indicators and the condition of protein metabolism (PM) was conducted by determining the concentration of individual non-essential, essential amino acids and their total amount. Results Results: The proposed correction scheme includes food products containing essential nutrients and biologically active compounds that have a positive impact on the corresponding links of pathogenesis and can be used throughout all phases of treatment. Its application had a positive impact on the indicators of PM (significant (p Conclusion Conclusions: The application of nutritional correction of protein metabolism in the complex treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis made it possible to obtain a pronounced positive impact on the clinical course of the disease and the condition of protein metabolism, which contributed to an increase in the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation.
