Abstract

Liver function tests were carried out for serum zinc turbidity test, icterus index, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and transaminases in a series of 222 patients, of whom 119 had prostatic carcinoma, 63 benign hyperplasia of the prostate and 40 congenital abnormality without prostatic trouble. Patients having prostatic carcinoma often displayed abnormally high levels of zinc turbidity test, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and transaminases.
