Abstract :

 

Introduction : H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu Seasonal influenza epidemics, currently involving influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1) and B strains, affect 10% to 20% of the human population each year. Although most people infected with a seasonal influenza strain recover in less than 2 weeks, young children and adults ≥65 years old, are at higher risk of developing serious influenza complications requiring hospitalization and potentially leading to death.

Aim: To study  the biochemical parameters in diagnosed H1N1 patients

Materials and Methods :

100 samples which includes 50 H1N1diagnosed cases and 50 healthy controls.

1)Serum urea and serum creatinine by kit based method on  automated auto analyser .

2)Serum SGOT,SGPT,ALP and total bilirubin by kit based method on automated auto analyser.

Results : Biochemical parameters viz LFT – Liver function tests (SGOT, SGPT, ALP and total bilirubin) and KFT – kidney function tests  (urea, creatinine) were deranged. P Value found to be < 0.05 which is significant.

Conclusion : H1N1 might be a cause of transient elevation of liver function tests and kidney function tests. However, further studies are needed, not only to investigate the pathophysiology of hepatitis and nephritis due to H1N1 infection, but also to create a guideline regarding monitoring of multi–organ involvement due to the virus.
