We have investigated 15 patients with liver cirrhoses of different etiology. With the rising of class of liver impairment and developing liver encephalopathy, level of zinc in blood drops. Treatment with diuretic therapy results in increase of discharge of zinc with urine and prevents recovery of its level in blood.
