Zinc and T-lymphocyte function in hemodialysis patients

This 1982 study investigated the relationship between serum zinc levels and T-lymphocyte function in 13 long-term hemodialysis patients. Six patients exhibited depressed T-cell mitogen responses and had lower mean serum zinc concentrations (63 ± 11 µg/dL) compared to seven patients with normal responses (75 ± 14 µg/dL). However, no significant
