Quantitative Cephalin-Cholesterol Flocculation Test for Liver Function

[摘要] The quantitative cephalin-cholesterol flocculation test of the author has been modified to give values in percentage of the absorption of the control tube with saline. This simple test which involves only a measurement of absorption in the centrifuged supernatant fluid may be used with any photoelectric colorimeter. Data are presented to show that in 29 of 35 serums giving values above 40 per cent the patients have other evidence of liver disease, while in only 5 out of 45 serums giving values below 40 per cent, the patients have possible liver damage. The same consistency in the results on 296 other patients is reported.
