Determination the Levels of Some Trace Elements and Electrolytes in Patients with H. pylori Positive Chronic Gastritis

H.pylori ( Helicobacter pylori:Gram-negative bacteria,multimedia,microaerophilic),is one of most common pathogens in human, that cause gastrointestinal disorders like stomach ulcers, stomach cancer and simple gastritis. This research aims to determine the levels of some trace elements (pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Se), and electrolytes (Sodium, Chloride, Calcium and Magnesium) in sera of patients (n:44) with H. pylori chronic gastritis. A total of (40) blood samples of healthy people were collected from the consulting clinic as well as control group. The study showed an increase in the levels of (Cu, Mn, Ni, Cr and Pb) in the serum of patients group compared to the healthy ones, the results also showed a decreased in the levels of (Zn, Se and Fe) in the serum of patients group, in comparison with control group. The results also show the levels of electrolytes in patients group (lower significantly: Ca and Mg) , ( lower insignificantly : Na and Cl ), in comparison with control group.
