On the basis of examinations of altogether 197 patients the results of the changes of GOT and GPT were compared with the old and new colour tests of the AWD Dresden in normal histology, virus hepatitis, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis and posthepatic occlusion. Though the new colour test reveals a higher sensitivity, the differential diagnosis between selected liver diseases, especially virus hepatitis and posthepatic occlusion syndrome have become more difficult. The cause for this is the less significant separability between the individual regions of reference.
