Definition of pathogenetic variants of a hemophilic arthropathy by means of the functional assessment of microcirculation

Introduction. Better understanding of the pathogenesis of hemophilic arthropathy is crucial for prevention of irreversible injury to joints in patients with hemophilia. Research objective - to define a role of altered regulation of microcirculation in formation of joint injury in patients with hemophilia. Methods. The changes in knee and ankle joints in 82 patients with hemophilia were investigated by means of ultrasound and X-ray. Microcirculation was evaluated using computer infrared thermography and laser doppler flowmetry in joints of 44 patients and 46 healthy individuals. Results. Increased temperature and perfusion (M) are major risk factors of hemarthrosis development (RR=1.86 and RR=1.26) and are characteristic of joints with hemorrhages developing more often than 1 time per month. Increase in these indexes in joints without hemarthrosis in the anamnesis is a sign of a latent inflammation. Both decrease in the index of shunting (IS) and increase in a vibration amplitude of perfusion in the endothelial range (Amax E) are characteristic of joints with a recurrence of hemarthrosis more often than 3 times a month. Decrease in indexes of M and Amax E with concomitant increase in PSh demonstrate low risk of hemarthrosis. Conclusions. Changes of microcirculation in joints represent an important factor in the pathogenesis of hemophilic arthropathy development in the patients with variable risk of a recurrence of a hemarthrosis. Joint inflammation leads to endothelial dysfunction with poor vasospasm, to increase in Amax E and M that is a new diagnostic sign of a latent inflammation in joints. Decrease of PSh promotes recurrence of hemarthrosis because of strengthening of an imbuing of tissues of joint blood. Preservation of endothelium-mediated vasoconstriction, decrease in the neurogenic tone, increase in shunting of blood are characteristic features of hemophilic arthropathy in patients with infrequent recurrence of hemarthrosis.
