Abstract In this study, we aimed to recognize the body abnormalities through determining the metallic balance of hair. We determinated multiple elements of patients hair with acute chromium poisoning by burn from the worst clinical condition to complete recovery. Elements determined were Al, Au, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, I, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Se, V and Zn by mondestractive neutron activation analysis. Comparing the clinical findings of a patient with acute chromium poisoning and metallic balance of his hair, we demonstrated that the metallic balance returned to the normal range with recovery from sickness, which suggested a promising possiblity to utilize this as one parameter indicative of clinical state.
