SERUM CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS IN OBSTRlJCTIVE AIRWAY DISEASES
MAKRAM YOUSSIF RIZK;
Abstract
The aim of this work has been to study the serum calcium and phosphorus in patients with obstructive airway diseases.
This study included 50 asthmatic patients (reversible airway obstruction) and 50 patients with COPD (irreversible airway obstruction), in addition to 20 normal healthy non smoker subjects as a control group. According to questionaires there were 20 asthmatic patients suffered from extrinsic asthma and 30 patients sufferedfrom intrinsic asthma. Also among all the asthmatic patients there were 13 patients treated with steroid in contrast to 7 patients with COPD.
Thorough history and clinical examination were performed for all subjects who were also subjected to the following investigations:
• Ventilatory functions before and after bronchodilator administration.
• Chest radiological exa.mination (P.A. View).
• Serum calcium (total, bound and ionized).
• Serum phosphorus.
• Fasting and 2 hours postprandial blood suger level.
• Renal functions (blood urea and serum creatinine).
• Liverfunctions (J'otal proteins, serum albumin, SGOT and SGPT).
The data obtained were tabulated and statistically analysed. The following results were obtained:
