“…Chromium-51 RBC survivals in the patients with Wilson's disease were only slightly longer than those reported by Katz, Velasco, Guzman, and Alessandri (1964) (mean T1/2 of 17.4 days) in 13 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis whose liver function was more severely disturbed. Richmond, Donaldson, Williams, Hamilton, and Hutt (1967) found marked reductions in 61Cr RBC survival in 15 patients from Uganda with splenomegaly ofunknown cause.…”

“…Moreover, the disease may develop into liver failure ( i.e. CSHB) due to various factors, such as HBV mutations [35] , [36] , coinfection with other hepatotropic viruses [37] – [42] , over-work, alcohol overdose [43] , long-term corticosteroid treatment [44] , and bacterial infections [45] , during the long course of the disease. Although the application of newly developed drugs with an artificial liver support system is effective in some cases, the mortality rate of CSHB may still reach 80%–100% in patients with stage III–IV hepatic encephalopathy [46] .…”

“…The haemoglobin rose from 6-8 g to 12-5 g% and the PCV rose from 20% to 36%, and the Coombs test became negative. Red cell survival is not usually affected by steroid therapy in cirrhosis (Williams and Billing, 1961;Katz et al, 1964). Two patients (cases 5 and 6) had evidence, from surface counting, of splenic sequestration of red cells of a degree which suggested that splenectomy would influence the haemolytic process.…”
