Abstract

A simple method for determination of different metals (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) in human blood from patients infected with hepatitis C has been suggested. Negligible correlations between the concentrations of macroand microelements in blood samples and their distribution in different patients were found. According to FAAS analysis data, Co, Ni and Cd were not present in the blood samples infected with hepatitis C or their concentrations were below the detection limits. The FAAS method was also applied for determination of Cu and Zn in liver samples. The results demonstrated that the analytical procedures could be successfully applied for a rapid and accurate determination of metals in different biological samples.
