| Abstract | ||
| - Objective: In the present study, the levels of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) in children with Jaundice aged (1-2 yr) were investigated. - Methods: 25 children diagnosed with Jaundice and (25) healthy children were included in the study. Serum Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) levels were measured by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. (GOT), (GPT), and total Bilirubin levels were measured by colormetric methods, while hemoglobin concentration was measured by cynomethmeglobin method. - Results: Cu and Fe levels were found to be significantly high in jaundice group (p<0.05) also, Zn levels were found to have tendency to increase (p<0.05)than control group. A significant positive correlation between serum Cu, Fe, and total serum bilirubin was established in Jaundice children. - Conclusion: Our findings showed that serum trace elements (Zn, Cu, Fe) levels changed in children with Jaundice. These changes might partially be due to pathological causes during this disease. | ||
