Abstract
Employing the method previously described and by the use of Warburg's manometer, carbonic anhydrase activity was determined on the blood of various disorders. Mean carbonic anhydrase activity of normal blood was 46.056 μl (41-52 μl) . Enzymatic activity in the blood of patients suffering from pulmonary, cardiac and gastric disorders showed similar mean value but with broader deviation of individual values.
Enzymatic activity in the blood of patients suffering from renal disorders showed such a broad range of 32-72 μl. In nearly all cases of hematic disorders, the enzymatic activity was some what lower than the normal value irrespective of the erythrocyte count. Enzymatic activity, changedd in reciprocal proportion to the count of erythrocytes.
