On the AGogram of Blood Serum and Plasma

Abstract

Herein is briefly described on the AGogram, a diagram showing the relations of protein fractions simply, which has been devised by us, following the idea of ELMoNogram (Sato's blood picture in regard to white corpuscles). Various curves of AGograms have been obtained in numerous surgical diseases, but they may be roughly classified into normal, J and reversed-S types. The J-type is often seen in the cases of gastric cancer, gastric and duodenal ulcers and the reversed-S type in the great majority of tuberculous cases. The significance of the angle A-γ in the reversed-S type and the angle α both in the reversed-S and J types are also described. In addition, some examples of AGograms are shown to demonstrate simply the postoperative change of the protein fractions.
