Evaluation of Plasma Antioxidant Levels Albumin, Uric acid and Total bilirubin in benzene station workers in Khartoum state

Abstract

A case control study conducted during period from January to April 2015 to evaluate plasma levels of uric acid, total bilirubin and albumin as antioxidant in Gasoline station workers. Fifty Gasoline station workers were selected as test group and 30 as control group, age matched. Blood specimens were collected T-test we used for comparison (significant level was set at p<=0.05) using SPSS 17.0. The result of this study indicate there was significant increase in the means of the plasma levels of the uric acid ,total bilirubin and albumin (6.75±0.702) (0.886±0.253) (5.62±0.449) when compare to control group(5.1±1.23) (0.353±1.83) (3.90±0.398) mg\dl . On other hand the result showed there was positive significant correlation between plasma levels of uric acid , total bilirubin and albumin with duration (r=0.910 , p value= 0.000) (r= 0.963 , pvalue= 0.00 ) (r=0.968 , pvalue =0.000) . The result was also showed there was positive significant correlation between plasma levels of uric acid , total bilirubin and albumin with age (r=0.629 , pvalue =0.000) (r=0.577 , pvalue 0.000) (r=0.602 , pvalue =0.000) . That is means, the mean of plasma levels of uric acid, total bilirubin and albumin were significantly increase when compare to healthy group. The levels of plasma uric acid, total bilirubin and albumin show significant correlation with duration and age
