Abstract:
This article is to report the results of the clinical assessment on the significance of 14 conventional liver function tests in the diagnosis of 161 cases of pathologically-confirmed liver cirrhosis. Out of the 14 tests, four, including quantitative determinations of serum ?-globulin (?-glo), total bilirubin (T bil), albumin (alb) and zinc, sulfate turbidity test (ZnT), proved more valuable than the oters.It was found that ?-glo increased in 91 cases out of 110 (82.73%), T bil in 60 cases out of 89(67.42%), and ZnT in 82 cases out of 161 (50.93%), but alb decreased in 77 cases out of 110(70.00%). The corresponding parameters between the compensated and decompensated cases differed significantly: ?-glo increased 68.29% in the former and 91.13% in the latter(PP 0.01), but alb decreased 52.28 in the former and 42.92 in the latter (P
