Diagnostic method- determination of the concentration of manganese in the blood

- biochemical blood test: determination of the activity of ALT, ACT, LDH, creatine phosphokinase (CPK); - indicators of protein metabolism, - concentrations of thyroid hormones.Instrumental research. EEG, CT, MRI, global EMG, ENMG data are evaluated.

In the early stages determine - the speed of motor and sensory reactions, the rate of attention, the amount of short-term memory, in later stages - productive memory, verbal-logical thinking, the level of personal and reactive anxiety, depression, neuroticism [medical citation needed]
