Evaluation of Serum Electrolytes in Patients of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A cross-sectional Study
Keywords:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), Electrolytes, hypercalcemiaAbstract
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a globally recognized condition characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation, typically exacerbated by significant exposure to harmful particles or gases.
Aim: To evaluate the serum electrolytes (Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) levels in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Method: The study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry in collaboration with the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly Uttar Pradesh. After approval of the Institutional Ethical Committee.
Results: We have found statistically significant low levels of serum calcium in Acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients as compared to Stable COPD patients.
Conclusion: This study shows that hypocalcemia is a prevalent electrolyte disorder with Acute exacerbation of COPD patients.
Keywords: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), Electrolytes, hypercalcemia.
