Abstract
The current study was undertaken to assess the levels of serum ceruloplasmin (CP) in patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to see if a correlation exists between serum CP which is an indicator of production of free radicals in the body and troponin I (Tn I) which is an indicator of the severity of AMI. Serum CP, was estimated by manual method of Ravin (Copper Oxidase - enzymatic method). Serum CP levels in patients with AMI was raised. Serum Tn I levels were increased in patients with AMI. The levels of serum CP had a positive correlation with serum Tn I levels.
Keywords: Ceruloplasmin, Troponin I , Acute Myocardial Infarction.
