Lipid content in blood serum at extended burns in children of different age

Abstract

Revealed peculiarities of the lipid spectrum of blood serum in children of different age groups have allowed us to determine general regularities of organism’s reaction to a severe burn trauma and to show changes in the lipid metabolism caused by age and functional state of systems and organs. Thus, in early-age children, adaptation reactions break under the conditions of long stress. In elder patients, compensatory abilities are more pronounced, which is indicative of the more adequate reaction to a severe burn injury.
