A study of 63 patients with uncomplicated forms of ulcer of the duodenum revealed an increased aggregation activity of erythrocytes, reduction of their capacity to deformation, abnormal stability to oxygen hemolysis, increase of lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes. These disorders of the functional state of erythrocytes depended on the character of complication of the ulcer disease and are related to activation of the processes of lipid peroxidation. Antioxidant drugs are indicated.
