Abstract

The results of conservative treatment with the use of hirudotherapy of patients presenting with bilateral gonarthrosis were evaluated by biochemical analysis of their serum and urine samples. The study revealed changes of mineral, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism suggestive of the positive homeostatic effect of hirudotherapy at the local and systemic levels. This finding gives reason to recommend hirudotherapy for the treatment and prevention of osteoarthrosis.
