Functional activity of lymphocytes in patients with comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic pancreatitis

Abstract

Thus, as a result of studies, it has been found out that there is an exacerbation of COPD, in the isolated course of disease as well as in disease combined with chronic pancreatitis, there is an observed severe deficiency of suppressor function of T-lymphocytes against us hyperactivity of B-cells, which may cause the development of autoimmune complications in such patients. At the same time, changes in patients with comorbidities of COPD and chronic pancreatitis were significantly deeper and had significant differences from those in patients with isolated COPD, reflecting significant deviations in immune reactions in patients with comorbidity, even in the remission of concomitant disease.
