[Use of thymalin and heparin in acute peritonitis]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This study, published as a Russian-language paper on acute peritonitis, examined cell and humoral immunity parameters and coagulation testing in 63 human patients. The authors report that thymalin, used alone or combined with heparin, was associated with faster resolution of the pathological process and its clinical and laboratory symptoms. They state the thymalin-heparin combination is indicated for elderly patients and for cases with a higher risk of thrombus formation.
Abstract
Results of the investigation of parameters of cell and humoral immunity and coagulogram in 63 patients with acute peritonitis have shown that thymalin when used solely or in combination with heparin facilitates quicker arrest of the pathological process, its clinical and laboratory symptoms. The combination of thymalin and heparin is indicated to elderly patients and in cases with higher risk of thromboformation.
