Abstract

The effects of cadmium ions and sorbents on lymphatic dynamics and lymph composition were studied. Experiments showed that prolonged cadmium chloride poisoning (orally) in rats causes changes in the biochemical composition and physicochemical parameters of lymph and blood plasma. After rats were intoxicated with cadmium chloride for 30 days, an increase in the volume of the cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes was observed. They were edematous and distended, and the superficial blood vessels in the node capsule were dilated. A decrease in lymph flow from the intestinal lymphatic vessel and a decrease in blood pressure were observed. A decrease in the viscosity of the dry residue of blood plasma and lymph was observed after rat poisoning with cadmium ions. An accumulation of cadmium ions was noted in the lymph nodes, where their concentration increased by 5-7 times from the baseline. Preliminary administration of sorbents significantly reduced the negative effect of cadmium on lymphatic dynamics and lymph parameters. The natural sorbent tagan enhances the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system, enhancing tissue drainage and the elimination of cadmium ions from the body.
