Serum Zinc, Magnesium and Albumin / Globulin Ratio in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Tuberculosis is considered as one of the most important infectious disease.The dietary deficiency of trace elements like zinc,magnesium and albumin/globulin ratio have been associated defective functioning of immune mechanisms in human and hence these imbalance in these elements may be associated in the pathophysiology of infectious diseases like pulmonary tuberculosis.The aim of this study to estimate and compare serum zinc,magnesium level and serum albumin /globulin ratio between pulmonary tuberculosis patients and normal subjects.Serum level of zinc,magnesium and albumin/globulin ratio were significantly reduced in pulmonary tuberculosis patient as compared to control group (p<0.0001 for zinc, p<0.0001 for magnesium and p<0.0001 for albumin/globulin ratio).
