Abstract:
Serum zinc levels were investigated in patients with chronic liver diseases and in control subjects. The results shows that serum zinc was significantly decreased in patients with chronic liver diseases, in contrast to controls. Zinc deficiency seems to be related to hepatic injury and not to alcoholic intake.
