Abstract
Aim: To establish association of COPD and its exacerbations with S. Magnesium level.
Introduction: COPD is a long disease characterized by chronic obstruction of airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. This study is to establish association of COPD with S. Magnesium level.
Materials & Methods: It is a case control study, data collected from April 2018 to September 2018, for 6 months. Study population were patients > 18 years of age.
Results: The incidence of hypo magnetic present on 81.1% of patients with Acute exacerbation (case), as compared to 0.01% of patients with stable COPD (control) with main Serum Magnesium of 1.57 mg/dl in Acute Exacerbation of COPD (case) as compared to mean Serum Magnesium of 2.10 mg/dl in stable COPD (control). This difference of mean values of S. Magnetism in COPD exacerbation and stable COPD patients was significant with P < 0.0005.
Conclusion: In our study, hypo magnetic is also exacerbations episode in COPD patients.
