Abstract

In patients who terminated their work in radiochemical facilities 3-7 years ago improvement of morphological composition of peripheral blood was shown to be observed in 75% of cases, complete recovery of the composition - in 10% of cases. This largely depended on the time passed since the moving to the job under "clean conditions" and the degree of previous changes. In some cases (50%) increase of reticular cells and decrease of leuco-ertiroblastic index. Adrenaline test made for 50% of patients did not show marked deviations from the norm. It was suggested that increase in the number of reticular cells could serve as sign of the development of blastomatosis or hypoplasia.

Key words
Functional state, hematopoietic system, peripheral blood, morphological composition, chronic radiation sickness.
