A comparative study on the Liver biochemical parameters in Information Technology employees with Non Information Technology employees
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Occupational stress is more common in Information Technology (I.T.) employees who cause alterations in biochemical parameters and diseases. Aim: To compare the liver biochemical parameters like serum total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin, Indirect bilirubin, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), in I.T employees with non I.T employees. Materials and methods: This was a comparative study in which employees who were working in I.T. Company compared with employees not working in I.T Company. The study included totally 300 subjects of whom 150 were I.T employees and 150 were Non I.T employees. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin, Indirect bilirubin, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, AST, ALT, ALP. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.5. Results were expressed as mean ± SD. Results: Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin, Indirect bilirubin, Albumin and A: G ratio were significantly decreased in I.T employees than in Non I.T employees. There was no significant difference in Total protein, AST and ALT. Conclusion: The significant reduction in Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin, Indirect bilirubin, Albumin and A:G ratio in I.T employees may be due to their relaxation exercises in between the working hours, regular physical exercise, periodical health check-up, and life style modification which were not seen in non I.T employees.
