Abstract
Using our method for obtaining electrophoretic patterns of the liver protein, the liver protein fraction in 35 cases of surgical biliary tract diseases was studied. The results obtained were as follows.
1. Among the cases of biliary tract diseases, not to speak of the cases with liver disturbances detected by clinical function tests, even in the cases free from such disturbances and showing good general conditions, lowered β-globulin value and raised i-globulin and/or albumin value in their liver protein could be frequently observed.
2. In comparison with the previously reported cases of gastric diseases, the liver protein fraction picture with lowered β-globulin value and raised γ-globulin and/or albumin value was more frequent among the biliary tract disease cases.
