Abstract

In Al-Kut city's AL-Zahraa general hospital, this study was carried out.for individuals with liver cirrhosis to evaluate their serum levels of ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, urea, creatinine, T.Protien, Albumin, and Bilirubin. The 50 patients ranged in age from 20 to 60, with 29 male and 21 female individuals.Based on the patient's medical history and physical examination, liver cirrhosis was determined to affect both sexes of the patient.   The 30 control groups were drawn from the medical personnel and family of those who did not exhibit any indications or symptoms of renal liver disease or kidney diseases. With ages ranging from 22 to 66, there were 20 men and 10 women. Eight to fourteen hours following the patients' overnight fasts, blood samples were obtained. The research reveals the following.


Serum ALT, AST and GGT concentrations in liver cirrhosis patients were found to be significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.01).Serum Bilirubin (Total) and direct Bilirubin concentrations in liver cirrhosis patients were found to be significantly high compared with control group (P<0.5), (P<0.01) respectively. Serum Albumin concentrations in liver cirrhosis patients were found to be no significantly lower compared with control group (P>0.5). Serum Total protein concentrations in liver cirrhosis patients were found to be no significantly lower compared with control group (P≤0.5).Serum Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentrations in liver cirrhosis patients were found to be significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.01).Serum urea, creatinine, Uric acid and ammonia level concentrations in  liver cirrhosis patients were found to be significantly high compared with control group (P<0.01).
