Metabolic myocardial disorders in children with bronchial asthma

Abstract

In the children with UC BA serum K+ and erythrocyte K+ level was significantly lower compared to the children with PC BA, C BA, C BA with no changes in CVS and the control group. Total CPK and CPK-MB isoenzyme level in the children with UC BA, was significantly higher compared to those with PC BA, C BA, C BA without CVS changes and the control group. In the children with PC BA, total serum CPK level was also significantly higher compared to C BA (P = 0.007), C BA without CVS (P = 0.0002) changes and the control group (P = 0.001). . Thus, the study demonstrated significant decrease of potassium level in blood serum and erythrocytes, twofold increase of total creatine phosphokinase and lactic dehydrogenase-1 isoenzyme levels, threefold increase in creatine phosphokinase-MB isoenzyme level, and one and a half time increase of total lactic dehydrogenase in the children with uncontrolled course of bronchial asthma.
