ALBUMIN GLOBULIN RATIO, BODY MASS INDEX AND WAIST HIP RATIO IN TUBERCLOSIS PATIENTS.
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is one of the most common disease seen in overcrowding population. T.B come with symptoms like Bad cough, Pain in the chest, Loss of appetite and Loss of weight. Tuberculosis remains a global Heath issue with high morbidity and mortality rate especially in developing countries and it is one of the re-emerging diseases often associated with HIV/AIDS and Poverty. A cross-sectional study was designed to estimate the serum total protein, Albumin and Globulin, Body mass index and Waist hip ratio in 50 Tuberculosis patients and 50 apparently healthy control subjects.The albumin levels, globulin and total protein were noted and correlated along with the BMI and WHR of the patients in both groups. The results showed that BMI (kg/m), WHR and AGR (g/dl) were significantly lower in TB subjects when compared with control subjects (p
