COMMENTARY ON SOME CLINICAL LABORATORY TESTS (GGT, GOT, GPT, BILIRUBIN, ALBUMIN, PROTEIN) IN PATIENTS WITH ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS AND SOME INFLUENCING FACTORS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: The study aims to analyze the clinical laboratory indices of patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis and investigate the factors influencing these indices. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive research design was used. Data were collected from patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis, and tests including GGT, GOT, GPT, bilirubin, albumin, and protein were conducted, while relevant factors were also recorded. Results: The results showed significant changes in the clinical laboratory indices of patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis compared to healthy individuals. Factors such as the duration of alcohol consumption, age, and associated complications had a significant impact on these indices. Conclusion: Alcohol-related cirrhosis has a major impact on clinical laboratory tests, particularly liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Evaluating these indices plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment.
