Toxinemia

Toxinemia is the existence in the body of substances called hematotoxins that cause disturbances in blood cells or deterioration in the quality of blood and its composition.

Toxinemia occurs and does not stop. In some of them, blood cells change due to disruption of hemoglobin formation. After the toxin is eliminated from the blood in urine or bile, hemolytic anemia develops. Toxins can also cause dramatic changes in the number of cells in an adult, most commonly red blood cells. Vasoconstriction is observed in the blood, manifested by a decrease in the diameter of blood vessels and a significant decrease in blood volume.

How and why do toxinemias occur? They come from various causes. Among them are:

- Alimentary toxinemia: this is poisoning of various organs and systems of the human body, occurring as part of any toxicosis caused by food or inhalation, or the entry into the body of pathogens that are more dangerous in toxicological terms. As a rule, this occurs in acute poisoning with salts of heavy metals, organophosphorus compounds and poisons of aliterative origin from other food-type protein toxigens, which initially act as an irritant and have a skin-resorptive effect, and then paralysis of the structure of nerve fibers and local action. This type of toxinemia is classified as physical or biological toxins coming from outside. - Endogenous toxinemia is a type of intoxication syndrome associated with the action of toxic substances of cellular, enzymatic or neurohumoral origin from the internal environment of the human body. For example: toxins produced by pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae; anaerobic rods; clostridia; syphilitic treponema pallidum, etc.
