COVID 19 Severely Disrupts Blood Markers and Renal Function
No full textSince the emergence of COVID-19 in Wuhan, extensive research has explored its immediate and long-term effects. This study investigated the relationship between COVID-19 and blood disorders, liver proteins, and biochemical factors. We analyzed 150 samples divided into two groups: 75 COVID-19 patients and 75 healthy, recovered individuals aged 25-75 years. The study examined various hematological and biochemical markers, including WBC, lymphocytes, platelet count, NLR, RBC, CRP, BUN, creatinine, D-dimer, and ferritin. Significant differences were found in hemoglobin levels, WBC count, RBC, blood urea, and serum creatinine, with COVID-19 patients showing increased levels of these markers except for hemoglobin, which decreased. The results indicate that COVID-19 adversely affects hematological markers, renal function, and induces abnormal immune responses. Moreover, the severity of illness is positively associated with blood hemolysis and D-dimer levels, leading to hyperglycemia and pancreatic effects by inhibiting insulin synthesis. These findings underscore the impact of COVID-19 on blood parameters and organ function

Evaluation of Rheumatoid Factor, Anti - Cyclic citrullinated peptide, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, and Cell Reactive Protein in diagnosis of Rheumatoid
No full textRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes synovial inflammation, which leads to joint erosion. A group of factors contribute to the occurrence of the disease, including ecological and hereditary features, which can lead to the disease's progress. This study investigated the association between rheumatoid disease and various biomarkers, including RF, anti-CCP, ESR, and CRP. The study aimed to determine the ability of these biomarkers to diagnose rheumatoid disease. Materials and Methods: 100 samples were collected from patients suspected of having rheumatoid arthritis from Al-Sadr Medical City in Najaf/Iraq, the samples were diagnosed by the consultant and the arthritis unit in the abovementioned hospitals from August 2023 to February 2024. Then 50 samples were collected from healthy people as a control group. five ml of intravenous blood was drawn from both patients and controls, and the sera were separated by centrifugation, kept at −20°C, and tested. RF was detected by agglutination of RF latex strips (Solarbio/China), ESR, and CRP. Antibodies to CCP were measured by (ELISA) kit from Genius/USA protocol. Results: The results showed that rheumatoid arthritis was significantly associated with age and gender. patients 24(24%) had a family history of genetic factors. while 76 (76%) were affected by other non-genetic factors. In this study, there is a highly significant difference (P<0.01) And the chi-square was 75. When comparing the RF group with the control group, the RF gave a positive result (84%), while 16 (16%) gave a negative result for the RF, compared with the control. The negative results for the RF were 45 (90%) and 5 (10%) gave positive results. a significant difference (P<0.01) and a chi-square of 122 when comparing between the anti-CCP group and the control group. Anti-CCP gave 93 (93%) positive results for RA compared to the control, 50 (100%) gave negative results (RF, Anti-ccp), (ESR, CRP) also significantly increased in RA. the sensitivity results showed that 84% of tested cases indicated positive results for RF. RF is found in cases of rheumatoid arthritis with a sensitivity of 84%. On the other hand, the specificity result indicates that 90% of healthy controls tested negative for RF. Therefore, RF may be a good indicator for monitoring RA, where positive findings are more prevalent. The susceptibility result indicates that all cases tested showed positive results for ANTI-CCP. ANTI-CCP is present in RA cases with a sensitivity of 93%. It is noteworthy that the specificity is also 100%, indicating that no positive results for ANTI-CCP were found in the healthy control group tested. Therefore, ANTI-CCP is a highly sensitive and specific indicator of RA. Conclusion: The research exposed a notable association between rheumatoid disease and age as well as gender. The occurrence of Anti-CCP demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy for rheumatoid disease compared to RF alone, as indicated by their sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, ESR and CRP levels were meaningfully raised in individuals with rheumatoid disease, further supporting their role as dependable markers for measuring disease activity. These findings significantly contribute to our understanding of the analytic and prognostic value of these biomarkers in rheumatoid disease

Assessment of Vitamin D Levels and Some Biochemicals in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in Al-Hawija District, Kirkuk, Iraq
No full textChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem that affects the balance of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin D and iron. Patients suffer from vitamin D deficiency and iron disturbances, which affect their general health and liver function. In Al-Hawija district, Kirkuk Governorate, Iraq, local research lacks information on this relationship. This study aims to evaluate vitamin D levels, iron forms, and liver function in kidney failure patients in this area, and explore the association between vitamin D and different forms of iron. A case-control study included 90 male and female cases (60 patients and 30 controls) of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The study was conducted from January to March 2023 at the dialysis center in Hawija. Ferritin and vitamin D were measured using an Ichroma device, UIBC was measured using a Cobas device, and TIBC was measured using a relationship between UIBC and serum iron. Iron, kidney function and liver enzymes were also measured using the spectrophotometric method. The results show a significant increase in indicators of kidney and liver Functions as well as vitamin D and iron deficiencies in patients compared to healthy individuals. These changes reflect the effects of kidney failure on various body systems. This studied also suggests that vitamin D does not directly interact with iron markers (iron serum, ferritin, UIBC and TIBC) in patients with kidney failure
