Variations of zinc in acute and chronic hepatitis (preliminary data).
The variations of serum zinc concentration were studied in acute and chronic hepatitis of various etiologies. Coefficients of correlation were found with serum immunoglobulins and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT). The data obtained suggest the possible utilization of these coefficients in the estimation of prognosis in acute and chronic liver diseases.
