ENDOTHELIN-1 AS A PROGNOSTIC MARKER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT DISEASES IN PEDIATRICS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

The search for specific prognostic and diagnostic markers is an urgent task in modern pediatrics. The endothelium is an active system that functions as a receptor-effectors organ that responds to an exogenous or endogenous stimulus with the release of various molecules designed to restore vascular-tissue homeostasis. The endothelium, on the one hand, is involved in almost all processes defined as homeostasis, homeostasis and inflammation, on the other hand, it is the first link in the pathogenesis of various diseases in both adults, children and adolescents. To date, the idea of endothelial dysfunction as a condition characterized by an imbalance of mediators that normally ensure the optimal course of endothelium-dependent processes has been formed. Due to the proven role of the development of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory systems, metabolic disorders, etc. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) can be used as such a prognostic and diagnostic marker of endothelial dysfunction. Purpose of the study: analysis and synthesis of literature data using WoS, Scopus, RSCI databases. Based on clinical and experimental data, it can be concluded that the use of markers of endothelial dysfunction, including the level of endothelin-1 in blood serum, can be used to assess the severity of socially significant diseases when they manifest in childhood and adolescence.

Keywords:

endothelium, endothelial dysfunction, endothelin-1, prognostic marker, socially significant diseases, children, adolescents.
