[The prevention of autoimmune kidney lesions developing in long-term exposure to epoxy compounds].

Clinical and biochemical, immunological and histological studies made in animals under inhalation exposure to volatile components of a new epoxy resin have yielded evidence in support of the development of autoimmune pathology (glomerulonephritis). One-stage determination of the amount of the blood serum circulating immune complexes and of the degree of sensibilization of bodily immunocompetent cells to a chemical (epichlorhydrin) and tissue (kidney) allergens in whole blood are regarded as a test for early diagnosis of glomerulonephritis. The enterosorbent "Ensoral" inhibits the development of those autoimmune processes being caused by bodily exposure to high concentrations of volatile components of epoxy resins.
