Pathogenesis of the traumatic brain injury is multifaceted and is largely dependent on the development of endogenous intoxication, which leads to the accumulation of various intermediate and end products of metabolism, including toxic metals, in the body. Understanding the basic pathways of the pathogenesis of aluminium and lead intoxication will allow developing the early diagnostic methods as well as effective preventive and treatment measures. The paper aimed to study changes in blood serum concentration of aluminium and lead in persons from the peaceful territory with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury in acute and intermediate periods. The blood serum concentration of aluminium and lead in 283 people of the peaceful territory with traumatic brain injury of mild to moderate severity in acute and intermediate periods was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry using an air-acetylene flame. Given the changes in the content of toxic trace elements in the blood serum of people of the peaceful territory with traumatic brain injury of mild to moderate severity in the acute and intermediate periods, it can be argued that they have metabolic disorders in the brain tissue, inhibited endothelial function of the vessels and intensification of the apoptosis processes. In our opinion, endothelial dysfunction in these people of the peaceful territory may be considered as a marker of vascular pathology. Conclusions. Thus, the study of toxic trace elements in the blood serum of people of the peaceful territory with traumatic brain injury of mild to moderate severity in the acute and intermediate periods can be used as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the course of traumatic brain disease and for expert purposes, and the study of the major pathways of pathogenesis of aluminium and lead intoxication will allow developing the methods for their early diagnosis, effective measures of prevention and treatment.
