Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease and is a major cause of disability and has high
economic costs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate laboratory diagnostic factors in patients with asthma.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytical study that by referring to the medical records
department in the educational hospitals of Abadan University of Medical Sciences, information about age, sex, and laboratory diagnostic factors of patients with asthma admitted from March 21, 2019, to March 19, 2020 was received.
Results: The results of this study showed that the statistical population of patients with asthma included 636 of
which 344 (54.1%) were female and 292 (45.9%) were male and this difference was significant. Mean biochemical markers including blood sugar, triglycerides, liver markers such as SGOT, total and direct bilirubin, hematological factors such as mean ESR and INR were higher than normal and cardiac marker CK was lower than normal.
Conclusions: The results of this study showed that in patients with hospitalized asthma, liver disorders (more in women than men), hyperbilirubinemia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and impaired cardiac marker, coagulation and inflammation are observed. As a result, more research and timely treatment should be done to prevent further complications of the disease.
