AIM: The study was planned to evaluate the association of C - reactive protein with Serum Uric Acid and
Bicarbonate Level in COPD.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the present study total 100 (n=100) patients diagnosed for COPD, were enrolled for the study.
Patients with neoplastic pathologies, pneumonia and Liver or renal diseases, pregnant and lactating females were excluded
from the study.
RESULT: The mean level of Serum Bicarbonate, C-reactive protein and uric acid were signicantly higher in COPD patients. A
signicant association was observed (p ≤ 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: In the present study higher bicarbonate levels that could be the individual biomarker which can assess the
respiratory acidosis and CRP and Uric Acid levels judges the severity the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
