title: [A method for the differential diagnosis of chronic persistent hepatitis and liver cirrhosis].
abstract: With a view to increase the accuracy of the differential diagnosis of chronic diseases of liver--chronic persistent hepatitis and initial manifestation of hepatic cirrhosis--the method based on the determination of general bactericidal activity of neutrophils is suggested. Cytochemical reaction on cationic proteins and nitroblue tetrazolium reduction with the blood of patients having the signs of liver lesion provide data for the calculation of the integral cytochemical activity of blood neutrophils. Values fluctuating from 4.0 to 6.0 indicate hepatic cirrhosis while their exceeding 7.0 may serve as an evidence of chronic persistent hepatitis.
