Oxidative imbalance in autoimmune liver disease: evaluation of oxidant-antioxidant status and ischemia-modified albumin

Total oxidant status, total antioxidant capacity and ischemia modified albumin levels in children with celiac disease.

In our study, we aimed to investigate ischemia modified albumin (IMA) as an oxidative stress marker, as well as other oxidant and antioxidant markers that have not been evaluated in children with celiac disease. A total of 37 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with celiac disease (CD) and 29 healthy children were enrolled in this prospective study. We evaluated the IMA, total oxidant status,...

Investigation of ischemia modified albumin, oxidant and antioxidant markers in acute myocardial infarction

INTRODUCTION Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still one of the most common causes of death worldwide. In recent years, for diagnosis of myocardial ischemia, a new parameter, called ischemia modified albumin (IMA), which is thought to be more advantageous than common methods, has been researched. AIM In this study, systematic analysis of parameters considered to be related to myocardial is...

Ischemia-Modified Albumin Levels in Children with Chronic Liver Disease

BACKGROUND/AIMS Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels have been shown to correlate with the severity of liver failure in adults. However, the role of IMA levels has not been evaluated in children with chronic liver disease (CLD). We analyzed the clinical significance of IMA levels in children with CLD. METHODS Thirty-three children with CLD and 33 healthy children were included in the study....

Oxidant/Antioxidant Imbalance and the Risk of Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia characterized by progressive loss of memory and other cognitive functions among older people. Senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the most hallmarks lesions in the brain of AD in addition to neurons loss. Accumulating evidence has shown that oxidative stress-induced damage may play an important role in the initiation and pr...
