The element content of clipped nails of 13 patients with liver cirrhosis was examined by X-ray microanalysis, and compared with that of 50 healthy subjects. The results showed a statistically significant increase in the percentage of Na, Mg and P and a slight, but statistically significant decrease in S and Cl. The percentage of K, Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn did not show any difference from that of the controls. The findings indicate that X-ray microanalysis may be a valuable tool for the simultaneous examination of a large number of elements in the fingernails.
采用X射线微量分析法检测了13例肝硬化患者修剪指甲的元素含量，并与50名健康受试者的指甲元素含量进行了比较。结果显示，钠、镁和磷的百分比有统计学意义的增加，而硫和氯的含量略有下降，但也有统计学意义。钾、钙、铁、铜和锌的百分比与对照组相比没有差异。这些发现表明，X射线微量分析法可能是同时检测指甲中大量元素的一种有价值的工具。
