[Endogenous intoxication, immunological reactivity and erythrocyte membrane permeability in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia].

Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have been shown to present with apparent metabolic abnormalities, such as enhanced endogenous intoxication against the background of deterioration of the functional condition of the liver and decline in immune reactivity of the organism; the erythrocytic membrane permeability changes considerably. The data secured are discussed from the standpoint of using them as prognostic criteria of the course of CML.
