Abstract
Purpose of the research was to study the relationship between the serum bilirubin level and the spirometric parameters in adolescents with bronchial asthma (BA). Materials and methods used: 213 patients (73,7% boys) with atopic BA aged 10 to 17 y/o were examined. All patients underwent determination of serum bilirubin level, spirometry indicators and general clinical examination. All patients were divided into three groups: G1 of 84 with reduced bilirubin level (less than 10 mсmol/l); G2 of 77 with normal bilirubin level (10 to 17,0 mсmol/l); and G3 of children with slightly elevated bilirubin level (17,1 to 45 mсmol/l). Results: elevated serum bilirubin level in this study occurred in 24.4% (52/213) of patients with BA. As the level of serum bilirubin increased in the general group of patients, a statistically significant increase in the z-criterion of the forced expiratory volume per 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) (p=0,005) and the z-criterion of the mean forced expiratory flow during the 25-75% of FVC (p=0,032) was observed, which was confirmed by the revealed positive correlations between the level of bilirubin and these spirometric indicators. The increase in z-criterion FEV1/FVC with an increase in bilirubin levels was statically significant in boys (p=0,046), in girls there was only a tendency to increase this indicator (p=0,07). Conclusion: bronchial patency in patients with slightly elevated bilirubin levels is higher than in patients with reduced serum bilirubin level in the blood. The best characteristics of bronchial patency in patients with “slightly elevated” bilirubin level suggest its protective effect in children with BA.
期刊介绍:
Journal “Pediatria” named after G.N. Speransky (the official short names of the Journal are “Journal «Pediatria»,” “Pediatria,” and “«Pediatria,» the Journal”) is the oldest Soviet-and-Russian (in the Russian Federation, the CIS and former Soviet Union) scientific and practical medical periodical assigned for pediatricians that is published continuously since May, 1922, and distributed worldwide. Our mission statement specifies that we aim to the ‘raising the level of skills and education of pediatricians, organizers of children’s health protection services, medicine scientists, lecturers and students of medical institutes for higher education, universities and colleges worldwide with an emphasis on Russian-speaking audience and specific, topical problems of children’s healthcare in Russia, the CIS, Baltic States and former Soviet Union Countries and their determination with the use of the World’s best practices in pediatrics.’ As part of this objective, the Editorial of the Journal «Pediatria» named after G.N. Speransky itself adopts a neutral position on issues treated within the Journal. The Journal serves to further academic discussions of topics, irrespective of their nature - whether religious, racial-, gender-based, environmental, ethical, political or other potentially or topically contentious subjects. The Journal is registered with the ISSN, - the international identifier for serials and other continuing resources, in the electronic and print world: ISSN 0031-403X (Print), and ISSN 1990-2182 (Online). The Journal was founded by the Academician, Dr. Georgiy Nestorovich SPERANSKY, in May, 1922. Now (since 1973) the Journal bears his honorary name.
