Clinical significance of determining the ion-transport functions of cell membranes in hypertension and its cerebral complications

Abstract

Development of methods for early diagnosis of diseases, prediction of the course of pathological processes are among the priority areas in medicine. Studies of cellular ion-transport systems turned out to be promising for solving these problems. Thus, it was established [46] that for a number of diseases some types of epilepsy, migraine, episodic ataxia, periodic paralysis channelopathies are the primary link in pathogenesis, and in the treatment of these diseases, agents stabilizing the operation of ion channels are effective.
