Serum lecithin level in patients with obstructive jaundice

الملخص EN

In this study, a colorimetric method for the determination of serum lecithin is examined using LPL, phospholipase C and glycerol dehydrogenase.

The results showed that serum lecithin concentration in the obstructive jaundice patients was increased compared to that in the control group [185.47±16.12 (mean ±SD, no=57) vs.

112.38±9.27 (mean ±SD).

No.=39, P<0.05] mg/100 ml.

The increase of serum lecithin in the patients with obstructive jaundice is a good indicator of liver disease, especially obstructive jaundice.

Our results showed that measurement of lecithin is considered to be one of the most specific and sensitive methods for the detection of obstructive jaundice
