Renal and hepatic dysfunction parameters correlate positively with gender among patients with recurrent malaria cases in Birnin Kebbi, Northwest Nigeria

Abstract: Background Simultaneous increase in transaminases and bilirubin is an indicator of hepatic dysfunction in malaria. Malaria-induced hyperbilirubinemia has been associated with acute kidney injury and pathogenesis of cerebral malaria which are significantly associated with mortality in malaria infection. This retrospective study was designed to assess the lipid profile, and hematological, renal and hepatic function data of malaria patients in Sir Yahaya Memorial hospital Birnin Kebbi from 2016 to… Show more

“…The reductions in total protein levels due to malaria infection agree with previous reports, attributable to impaired liver function and nutrient malabsorption (Ojo et al, 2022;Okagu et al, 2022). By restoring protein levels, the extract likely supports hepatic protein synthesis and intestinal absorption.…”
