Liver function tests and protein fractionations in hepatic amoebiasis

Liver function tests and protein fractionations were studied in 12 cases diagnosed as hepatic amoebiasis. Abnormal values were detected in zinc turbidity, serum bilirubin, more apparent in S. alkaline phosphatase, S.G.P.T. and L.D. Hypo-al buminaemia occured in all cases and was associated with increased gamma, beta and alpha[2], globulins. Improvement in liver functions after treatment was noticed in S.G.P.T., lactic dehydrogenase and serum alk. phosphatase, with significant improvement in serum albumin and beta globulin
