الملخص EN

The human body needs a lot of electrolytes.

Although they are present in very small quantities, the human body needs them in the formation of bones and blood, in addition to its role in maintaining the normal functions of cells, electrolyte disturbances usually occur in patients with cancer.

This research aims to determine the role of blood electrolytes in helping to evaluate pancreatic cancer, due to the diagnostic importance they constitute.

The study included 23 cancer patients whose ages ranged between 55-90 years, in addition to 23 healthy people without pancreatic cancer representing the control group within the same age period, during the period January 2018 to March 2019.

Sodium (Na +), calcium (Ca ++) and potassium (k +) were measured in the blood serum.

The results of the study showed lower levels of electrolytes in patients compared to healthy people, and we conclude that measuring blood electrolyte levels can be used as supportive tests in evaluating pancreatic cancer.
