Fasting plasma zinc concentrations were lower in elderly people with senile purpura than in a control group matched for age. No significant difference was found in the mean serum concentration of albumin, which is the main binder of zinc. No other clinical or laboratory findings differentiated the two groups. As the cause of the low plasma zinc values has not been found it is suggested that further studies of the related factors including input, output, and binding should be made before a therapeutic trial is launched.
患有老年性紫癜的老年人空腹血浆锌浓度低于年龄匹配的对照组。作为锌的主要结合蛋白,白蛋白的平均血清浓度在两组中未发现显著差异。两组在其他临床或实验室检查结果上也无差异。由于血浆锌值降低的原因尚未明确,因此建议在开展治疗试验之前,对包括锌的摄入、排出和结合等相关因素进行进一步研究。
