Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme level, which is routinely measured at clinical laboratories, increases in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and hepatitis patients. This study investigated the difference in ALP level among ESRD and hepatitis patients. ALP level was measured in sera of patients suffering from ESRD, HCV and HBV infections, as well as patients suffering from comorbidity of these diseases, then the obtained values of ALP level were statistically compared to a control group. The results of three-Way ANOVA revealed that the mean of ALP level increased significantly (P-value< 0.05) in all types of diseases compared to the control group, with the highest increase in case of ESRD patients infected with Hepatitis B and C. Also, it was found that the interaction of group-gender significantly (P-value< 0.05) altered ALP level in patients suffering from HCV or HBV infections, while the interaction of group-age, gender-age, group-gender-age were found not to significantly alter it. In conclusion, ESRD patients with HBV/HCV coinfection may have a higher risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality than ESRD or HBV or HCV patients. arabic 25 English 103

Bulgular: 791 çocuktan (421 erkek, 370 kız, ortalama yaş 6.5) alınan örnekler test edildi. Tüm çocuklar hayatlarının ilk iki yılında 4 doz tam hücreli boğmaca aşısı ile aşılanmıştı. Yakın zamanda gerçekleşen ve gerçekleşmeyen boğmaca enfeksiyonu sıklığı sırasıyla% 4.8 ve% 2.5 idi. Çocukların% 76.1’i tespit edilemeyecek düzeyde IgG’ye sahipti. Sonuç: Çalışma boğmaca enfeksiyonun okula başlayan çocuklar arasında sık olarak geçirildiğini göstermiştir. Bu artış, okula başlama yaşındaki çocukların% 76.1’inde serumda boğmacaya karşı antikor düzeyinin tespit edilemeyecek düzeyde olmasının dolaylı bir sonucu olması ile açıklanmıştır. arabic 26 English 62
