Background. To estimate interrelation of clinical and functional parameters and vessel tome regulating function of endothelium in patients with bronchial asthma. Methods. 126 patients with bronchial asthma have been examined, including 29 patients with mild bronchial asthma (the first group), 32 persons with moderate bronchial asthma (the second group), 40 respondents with severe asthma (the third group) and 25 patients with steroiddependent asthma (fourth group). The control group included 27 healthy volunteers. We have assessed the parameters of external respiration, vasodilatation function, and the levels of TNFa, IL4, sCD31 in the plasma. Results. The results of the research of vessel tome regulating function in patients with bronchial asthma are presented. The existence of endothelial function of an endothelium are characterized by disturbance of vasomotor activity of endothelium, rising of sCD31 and levels of cytokines (Il-4, TNFa) in plasma was revealed. These changes deteriorate within the ages and the course of bronchial asthma. Conclusion. We have demonstrated that endothelial dysfunction is developed even at the early stages of bronchial asthma.
