Many patients with liver failure have a malabsorption syndrome and chronic diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea causes zinc deficiency because stool contains substantial quantities of zinc. Cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 may stimulate metal-lothionein, an intestinal zinc-binding protein, thereby inhibiting zinc absorption. Considering the importance of zinc in metalloenzyme reactions, wound healing, immunocompetence, and the senses of taste and smell, patients with chronic diarrhea or large ostomy losses should be suspected of having zinc deficiency measurement of serum concentrations may be used to confirm such deficiencies. Patients receiving a protein-restricted diet may be at additional risk because substantial amounts of zinc are found in red meat.

Cadmium exposure can occur via the diet and drinking water, accumulating primarily in the liver and kidneys. An acute oral exposure to 20-30 g has caused fatalities in humans. Exposure to lower amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Chronic exposure to cadmium primarily affects the kidneys, although other conditions such as itai-itai disease may involve the skeletal system. Cadmium is excreted primarily in the urine.
