Evaluation of hSCRP and microalbumin levels in smokers

Background: Smoking is associated increase in morbidity and mortality from various diseases. Increasing evidence suggests that chronic smoking adversely affects vascular hormonal systems. plays a significant role the development of atherosclerosis, thrombogenesis occlusion, which further prognosis nephropathies. Aim and. Objectives: to estimate compare levels hSCRP microalbumin smokers non-smokers. Materials Methods: Under aseptic precautions random venous blood sample 2 mL was drawn ante-cubital vein collected red top tube serum separated analysed for high sensitivity C reactive protein (hSCRP). Early morning mid-stream urine used estimation same microscopy exclude patients with urinary tract infection. Statistical Analysis: All statistical tests performed using SPSS software. For comparisons different variables student’s t-test Chi-square test were be used. Pearson coefficient correlation assessment relationship between variables. A p value <0.05 considered statistically significant.
