Antioxidant status and Some Biochemical parameters in cirrhotic liver patients

Abstract

A clinical study of 21 patients with liver cirrhosis, aged (35-66) years,
attending different hospitals in Mosul city .
Each cirrhotic patient was evaluated clinically and laboratory examinations
have been done including peroxy nitrite as an oxidant indicator and the antioxidants
like (SOD, Vitamin C, Vitamin E), Total protein, albumin, globulin, total bilirubin,
Iron, Sulfate, triglycerides and cholesterol levels were evaluated .
The analysis of results showed that the levels of albumin, globulin, total
protein, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Iron and peroxy nitrite were significantly lower, while
bilirubin, triglycerides and cholesterol were significantly elevated in cirrhotic patient
when compared with control .
A non significant decreased in SOD activity and a non significant elevated in
sulfate concentration obtained in all patients compared with normotensive
