Ceruloplasmin-Albumin Ratio as A Biochemical Marker for The Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death among infectious diseases. This study aimed to illustrate the association between Ceruloplasmin-Albumin ratio and TB. This work involves sixty confirmed TB cases admitted to the TB center in Hilla city-Iraq. Also 20 apparently healthy subjects were used as control. Sera were collected from each patients and control. Ceruloplasmin and Albumin were biochemically estimated. The results showed that there significant (p < 0.05) increasing in Ceruloplasmin-Albumin ratio in TB patients as compared to control. This results give a clear evidence for the association between Ceruloplasmin-Albumin ratio and TB.
