[The cytochemical dithizone reaction of the blood granulocytes in zinc-deficient states].
The blood granulocyte zinc content is liable to be reduced in hepatocirrhosis, chronic glomerulonephritis presenting with nephrotic syndrome, chronic enteritis, diabetes mellitus, and in frequent and excessive sweating, as evidence by a study conducted with the aid of a cytochemical dithizone test. A short discussion is given on potentials for application of the cytochemical dithizone test as a diagnostic aid to the study of the blood granulocyte zinc content in zinc deficiency states.
