Comparative study of serum Na+ and K+ levels in Senile Cataract patients and normal individuals
International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2004Co-Authors: Mansour Mirsamadi, Issa Nourmohammadi, Manuchehr ImamianAbstract:Abs st tr ract Many factors such as aging, changes in blood electrolytes levels, and possibly family history are involved in Senile Cataract formation. Changes in serum electrolytes levels can induce changes in aqueous electrolytes levels and effect on lens metabolism and probably Cataract formation. In this paper, we study serum level of Na + and K + in Senile Cataract patients and normal individuals. Methods and materials: 155 Senile Cataract patients scheduled for Cataract surgery in eye clinic of Rasoul hospital and 155 normal individuals were selected. Serum Na + and K + levels were measured by Flame Photometry technique and means compared between two groups by t-test. Results: 1. Mean serum Na + level in Senile Cataract patients and normal individuals was 144.96 ± 6.04 mEq/lit and 140.88 ± 2.27 mEq/lit respectively, and there was statistically significant difference (P

Mean serum K + level in Senile Cataract patients and normal individuals was 4.20 ± 0.34 mEq/lit and 4.15 ± 0.32 mEq/lit respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Serum Na + level in Senile Cataract patients was higher than normal individuals in this study. This result might suggest that diets with high Na + content are a risk factor for age-related Cataract formation, as high Na + content of the diet leads to high level of serum Na + , which in turn contributes to formation of age-related Cataract.

evaluation of serum zinc level and plasma sod activity in Senile Cataract patients under oxidative stress
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2007Co-Authors: Indranil Chakraborty, Sanjoy Kunti, Mousumi Bandyopadhyay, Anindya Dasgupta, Gopal Deb Chattopadhyay, Sandip ChakrabortyAbstract:An imbalance in the systemic redox status leading to oxidative stress has been an important factor in development of Senile Cataracts, which is reflected by an increase in serum TBARS and a decrease in plasma SOD activity. Zinc has been an important cofactor required for structural stability of SOD. In the present study the role of serum zinc level and plasma SOD activity was analyzed in Senile Cataract patients showing significant oxidative stress. Serum TBARS, plasma SOD and serum zinc level was measured in thirty randomly selected Senile Cataract patients against properly matched controls. Although, the analysis of means showed a significant increase in serum TBARS and decrease in plasma SOD and serum zinc level in cases, but plasma SOD was found to be just significantly correlated (p=0.05) with the serum zinc only in the cases. The results of partial correlation studies and multiple regression analysis, also, showed only a significant correlation and predictable dependence between serum TBARS and plasma SOD, excluding any role of serum zinc level. The present study concludes that it is chiefly the plasma SOD activity, but not the serum zinc level, that determines the proneness of the patients for development of Senile Cataract.

assessment of serum zinc calcium and magnesium among sudanese patients with Senile Cataract in khartoum state sudan
Ophthalmology, 2018Co-Authors: Rehab Om AltouhamiAbstract:Background: Senile Cataract is a vision-impairing disease caused by age, and it is characterized by the gradual progressive thickening of the lens in the eye. The purpose of the study was to assess the serum level of Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium in Senile Cataract patients. Material and Methods: Ninety four individuals classified into two groups, 50 as case group and 44 as healthy individuals as control group. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to measured serum Zinc, Calcium and magnesium. Results: Means of serum Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc levels in patient with Senile Cataract were 7.82 ± 1.98 mg/dL, 1.31 ± 0.41 mg/L and 0.27 ± 0.04 mg/L respectively, this study revealed that there were significant differences in serum Zinc levels, Magnesium levels, between case and control P-value (0.00 and 0.017) respectively; But insignificant differences in serum Calcium levels P-value (0.16). Conclusion: The study findings that decrease of serum zinc and magnesium levels were play a role in developmental mechanism of the Senile Cataract or Cataract risk factors.
