Perturbation of liver function markers and serum electrolytes associated with Echinococcus granulosus infection in sheep

Histopathological alterations in the liver of intermediated hosts infected with Echinococcus granulosus parasite can be occurred by necrotic expansion as a result an increase growth larva stage (metacestode), which may cause perturbation production function markers. Thus, this study aims to determinate biochemical profile and some serum electrolytes E. granulosus-infected sheep at different hydatid cyst infection ratios (IRs). fifty livers from naturally five uninfected-sheep control group were enrolled study. Cardiac blood samples under sterilized conditions gently collected isolated sera biochemically assayed for determination markers including; Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Albumin (ALB) total protein (TP), well level including Ca, K, Na Cl using fully automatic analyzer, FUJI-Film. The current data indicated progressive AST, ALT, ALP, Ca K. ALB TP gradually declined rise ratio cysts. In conclusion, findings electrolytes, mainly K based on liver. Additionally, acute chronic parasites determined serum.
