ABSTRACT

Cancer account for high morbidity and mortality rate throughout the world. In the present investigation, the levels of serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine, ferritin and alkaline phosphatase were higher than the normal range while the level of HDL-Cholesterol was lower than the normal range. The random blood glucose was 169.0±88.74 mg/dl. The total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-Cholesterol levels were 194.75±31.26 mg/dl, 238.25±93.87 and 30.5±11.6 mg/dl respectively. The plasma total protein and albumin levels were 7.68±0.22 g/dl and 4.4±0.54 g/dl respectively. The total and direct billirubin levels observed were of 0.45±0.37 mg/dl and 0.33±0.19 mg/dl. The observed BUN was 9.2±3.74 mg/dl while uric acid was 5.32±1.22 mg/dl. The observed value for creatinine, calcium, phosphorus and ferritin were 1.6±0.45 mg/dl, 10.05±0.93 mg/dl, 3.28±0.76 mg/dl and 96.67±30.64 ng/mL respectively. The level of some diagnostically important enzymes in the plasma were 127±33.38 U/L, 34.25±10.91 U/L, 31.5±8.8 U/L, 25.69±8.31 U/L, 133±7.35 U/L, 314.25±64.0 U/L and 23.25±9.25 U/L for alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, SGOT, SGPT, LDH cholinesterase and CK-MB respectively.
