Improved Quantitation of Cephalin-cholesterol Flocculation Test.

Y Serial Cephalin Flocculation Test in Leprosy a Preliminary Report

In 1943 Bruger (1) proposed a fractional cephalin-cholesterol flocculation test to be used as an index of increasing or decreasing hepatic dysfunction. This modified test consisted in the use of increasing dilutions of serum with saline, noting the flocculation according to the procedure originally described by Hanger. The data presented in support of the modified test do show that, when it is ...

A Rapid Modification of the Cephalin Cholesterol Flocculation Test.

‘THE LENGTHY INCUBATION PERIOD and the subjective interpretation of degree of flocculation ai’e undesirable characteristics of the Hanger cephalin cholesterol flocculatiomi test (1). Several workers (2-4) have reported modifications either to shorten test time or to determine extent of flocculation mnstrumemitally. Inadequate sensitivity has been noted in some of these technics as well as inter...

Significance of Cephalin-cholesterol Flocculation Test

The effect of malarial fever on hepatic physiology has recently been investigated. It has been found (1) that considerable bromsulphthalein retention, a marked reduction in cholesterol and cholesterol esters, a moderate fall in phospholipids, diminished hippuric acid excretion and a strongly positive cephalin-cholesterol flocculation reaction resulted when malaria was induced in 9 patients by i...
