The Relationship of IgE Level with Some Biochemical Variables in Iraqi Asthmatic Adult Patients

A chronic respiratory illness known as asthma causes inflammation and airway constriction, which makes breathing difficult. Several metabolic measures may be employed to detect and track asthma. In addition to evaluating the amount of IgE, blood samples from 40 asthmatic patients were obtained and examined to determine the concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, and fasting blood sugar (FBS). Along with measuring healthy people, each patient's body mass index was determined.
The findings showed that there was no discernible difference in fasting blood sugar and cholesterol levels between asthmatic patients and healthy volunteers, but that there was a significant difference in the high triglyceride levels in asthmatic patients as compared to healthy subjects, as well as a significant increase in IgE in these patients. The results showed that the patients had higher BMIs than the healthy subjects in terms of BMI. In addition to a considerable rise in IgE levels, this study discovered that one of the biochemical factors, triglycerides, is noticeably greater in asthmatic patients than in healthy individuals.
It is crucial to remember that the presence or absence of these biochemical markers does not always confirm or rule out an asthma diagnosis. To develop a diagnosis and choose the best course of action, they should be utilized in conjunction with other clinical findings, such as patients’ symptoms and medical background.
