Abstract
The Effect of Malaria on Biochemical Liver Function Parameters in Sudanese Pregnant Women
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of malaria, on different biochemical liver parameters in Sudanese pregnant women.This was a case control, hospital-based study, which was carried out at Medani Maternity Teaching Hospital, Gezira State, and in an area of seasonal mesoendemic malaria transmission. A total of 150 pregnant women, with peripheral blood film evidence of falciparum malaria, were taken as cases and 50 healthy malaria free pregnant women, were selected as controls. Albumin and globulin levels and liver enzymes were estimated colorimetrically, for both patients and controls.
