The article presents results of a prospective investigation of 270 patients with abdominal sepsis. Three variants of endocrine impairments were established which correlated with the intensity of syndrome of inflammatory response and severity of the patients' state. In addition, possible transition of one variant of the endocrine dysfunction into another was proved in case of increased number of programmed sanitation relaparotomies.
