[Formation of secretory immunoglobin by the hepatic clearance mechanism]

In patients suffering predominantly from several types of dermatosis as well as from cholecystitis and cholelithiasis relationships to the formation of secretory immunoglobulin by the hepatic clearance mechanism have been investigated. In the duodenal content and in operatively yielded gall-bladder bile, immunoglobulins, complement C3, and albumin were detected. The amount of immunoglobulins and of albumin in the duodenal content was substantially increased if infectious germs could be detected in the stomach content.
