Abstract
Activity of lecithin-cholesterol-acyl transferase (LCAT) was distinctly decreased in chronic impairments of liver tissue, especially under conditions of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. After treatment with "essentiale forte" the enzymatic activity was elevated only in the patients with chronic hepatitis. The LCAT activity correlated with content of albumins, gamma-globulins and the data of thymol test. Estimation of the LCAT activity might serve as a diagnostic test in chronic liver tissue diseases.
