Abstract | ||||
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (acute lymphocytic leukemia, ALL) is a malignant (clonal) disease of the bone marrow in which early lymphoid precursors proliferate and replace the normal hematopoietic cells of the marrow. The oncogenes that control the production of ROS and the expression of antioxidants have the ability to influence the apoptosis pathway and control the progression of leukemia. This research investigated the inter-relationship between antioxidant markers, oxidative stress, and some biochemical markers in acute lymphoblastic leukemia Egyptian children. Antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). In addition to oxidative stress markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA). Furthermore, electrolytes such as (Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, and P). Moreover, liver profile, kidney profile and Glucose in acute lymphoblastic leukemia Egyptian population. This study produced 100 children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (mean age, 9.5 years) compared to 100 healthy controls (mean age, 8.5 years). Significant increases were obtained in Na and K, MDA, and GSH levels in ALL groups compared to the control group. While, we found a significant decrease was found in serum SOD and CAT in ALL groups compared to the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a strong association between electrolytes (Na and K), antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and GSH), and oxidative stress (MDA) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Which means, these parameters could be risk factors in ALL. | ||||
