Objective: To evaluate the serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels in multiple myeloma patients as an indicator of disease progression. Methods: The case-control study was conducted at the Clinical Biochemistry Department of the National Centre of Haematology, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, from October 2020 to July 202...

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is a global problem that affects women more prevalently, causing vast health consequences. Screening by hemoglobin and serum ferritin is currently applied for ID. Recently, interest in complete blood count parameters (CBC) has emerged for its close relationship with body iron stores. Objectives: to examine whether h...

Background Elabela is a newly discovered peptide hormone that has been implicated in liver disease. Objective The main objective of the current work is to assess whether variations in blood Elabela levels among chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients from Iraq might be used as a biomarker for liver fibrosis. Materials and Methods A case-control study...

Background: It is estimated that more than half of pregnant women all over the world are anemic. The potential of erythroferrone (ERFE) and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) as indicators for iron deficiency could be used to detect various types of anemia, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Objectives: To assess whether variations in ery...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystemic metabolic disease with an undetermined etiology. PE is a worldwide cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity, subdivided into early (EoPE) and late-onset (LoPE) according to 34 wk of gestation as a divider. Many researchers investigated biomarkers for predicting PE to halt its consequences on the feto...

Keywords: Multiple myeloma, the ratio of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, the ratio of platelet-to-lymphocyte, new marker of prognosis ABSTRACT Background: Multiple myeloma considered being the most common bone related malignancy. It occurs, especially in older persons, in an increasing frequency trend. In various malignancies, recent researches showed th...

Objective: To assess the significance of platelet indices, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width in patients with missed abortion as an earlier and cost-benefit screening test. Methods: The prospective case-control study was conducted at the University Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, from April to September 2021, and comprised women wit...

To assess the significance of platelet indices and the ratio of platelet to lymphocyte as an early prediction of patients with severity of Preeclampsia. Ninety women were enrolled in three groups: group I: (In=30) women diagnosed as non-severe preeclampsia, group II: (n=30) women diagnosed as severe preeclampsia, and group: III (n=30) age-matched n...

Many hypotheses underlie the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. This study aims to evaluate Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (a marker of immune hypothesis) and Neutrophil / Lymphocyte ratio (a marker of inflammation) in the diagnosis of preeclampsia and its severity and to determine the correlation between them. Study design : This randomized...

Background: The role of serum zinc, and magnesium concentration activities in association with the Blood sugar level, and their link as biochemical marker risk for lens damage, inflammation, for the Retinal disease patients with diabetes beside lens replacement surgery, and in control individuals for both genders. Our purpose for the current study...

Background: An angiogenic imbalance is among the theories for the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) which is a health issue that is predicted to be cause of significant maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The PE clinical pattern is variable and its course is unpredictable and may end with a disastrous but a preventable result; henceearly di...

Angiogenic imbalance has been implicated in pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE). Oxidative stress has been proposed as a mediator for such an angiogenic imbalance, but its exact role is not well-understood. The aim of this study is the correlation of sFlt-1: PlGF ratio as an indicator of angiogenic imbalance with serum levels of nitric oxide (NO) and...

Leukemia is a cancer of early blood forming cells. Most of them are cancers of white blood cells , however some leukemias start in other blood cell types.Electrolytes have modulatory effects on several biological mechanisms in the body namely as stabilizers,element of structures, essential element for hormonal function and also co-factors for a num...
