ABSTRACT

Stomach cancer or gastric cancer develops from the lining of the stomach. It may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes. In the present investigation the serum biochemical profile of the gastric cancer patients were analyzed. The values observed were higher for total cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, SGOT and CKMB while the level of HDL-Cholesterol was lower than the normal range. The random blood glucose level was 92.50±29.74 mg/dl. The total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-Cholesterol levels were 240.25±52.62 mg/dl, 185.75±65.23 and 36.25±8.73 mg/dl respectively. The plasma total protein and albumin levels were 7.63±0.17 g/dl and 4.27±0.27 g/dl respectively. The total and direct billirubin levels observed were of 0.4±0.14 mg/dl and 0.23±0.19 mg/dl. The observed BUN was 10.35±1.27 mg/dl while uric acid observed was 6.52±1.85 mg/dl. The observed creatinine, calcium and phosphorus were 2.2±0.8 mg/dl, 8.78±1.28 mg/dl and 3.95±0.52 mg/dl respectively. The level of plasma enzymes were 135.0±20.85 U/L for alkaline phosphatase, 41.5±29.91 U/L for gamma glutamyl transferase, 39.0±3.00 U/L for SGOT, 16.28±10.58 U/L for SGPT, 88.75±112.72 U/L for CK-MB, 260.5±68.01 U/L for cholinesterase, 135.33±6.51 U/L for LDH and 51.33±4.51 U/L for amylase.
