چکیده
Objective: This study was conducted to estimate the serum albumin levels in stable & hospitalized patients of COPD. Study Design: Comparative Cross Sectional Place and Duration Study: jointly carried out at Pulmonology Shaikh Zyed Hospital Rahim Yar Khan, Fatima Jinnah Institute Chest Medicine Quetta Liaquat University medical health sciences, Jamshoro from 1st January 2021 December 2021. Methodology: A total 180 cases COPD were selected divided into two groups; group contained 95 as cases, B included 85 with mentioned inclusion exclusion criteria. The level estimated by bromocresol green (BCG) method. less than 3.2 g/dl is considered hypoalbumienimia. statistical data analysed SPSS version 22 applying an independent student T test. Results: mean 3.0 ± 0.41 while it 2.6 0.34 g/dl. statistically(P <0.001) declined compared Conclusion:This concluded that severity directly proportional reduction Keywords: COPD, Serum Albumin, Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory mediators

متن کاملEffect of Zafirlukast on improving lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
Background : There is little evidence about the role of Zafirlukast (a highly selective LTD4 antagonist) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Zafirlukast can reduce the need for short-acting rescue β2 agonists, produce fewer exacerbations of asthma and increased quality of life as possible benefits treatment for asthma.
