Total Protein and Total Fucose in Sera of Patients with Thyroid Dysfunction and Control

Abstract

Total protein and total fucose were determined in sera of thyroid

disorder patients.

Sera of (40) diagnosed by consultant hyperthyroidism, and 40 hypothyroidism  were analyzed  for  the above  parameter  for  control, sera of (40) normal individuals were used.

They   were   healthy   with    no  appearing   disorder   results   analysis revealed  no significant  differences  (P<0.05)  in  the (mean  Â±SD)  of total   protein   values  in   sera  of   hyper  and   hypothyroidism   were compared  with  normal  control,  also  no  significant  difference  was found between hyper and hypothyroidism themselves.

Total fucose revealed a significant decrease in the (mean± SD) values in sera of hyper and hypothyroidism compared with normal healthy.
