The Relation Between Treatment Based on Differential Diagnosis of Syndromes and Trace Elements in the Hairs of Aplastic Anemia Patients / 中医杂志

ABSTRACT

12 trace elements from the hairs of 20 cases of aplastic anemia were examined and compared with that from hairs of normal people as control. Results showed that in Yin-deficient type patients, Li, Ca, Si, Cr markedly decreased; in Yangdeficient type patients, Zn, Mg, Ba, Si, Ca, Li markedly decreased, while all 12 trace elements decreased in patients of deficiencies of both Yin and Yang. New approaches were also offered for treatment of aplastic anemia on the basis of differential diagnosis.
