Objective: Estimation of serum zinc and copper levels in anemic patients.
Methods:The study design included 30 subjects presenting to clinical laboratory, global hospitals. The subjects were divided into 2 groups. The Group 1 consists of 15 healthy individuals and Group 2 consists of 15 anemic patients.
Results:The serum copper and zinc levels were evaluated in anemic patients. The serum copper and zinc were found to be significantly lower in anemic patients when compared with normal individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
