Study of Physiological and Biochemical Changes of Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in AL- Ramadi City

All individuals are susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, the spread of the infection varies depending on age, gender, and some genetic factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical changes in individuals with urinary tract infections in Anbar City. Seventy samples infected with UTI and (32) samples of control were collected during the period from July 2020 to February 2021. The patients were selected from three hospitals in Anbar Governorate (Al-Ramadi General Hospital, Hit Hospital, and Fallujah Hospital). For all participants, 10 ml of venous blood was collected. Complete blood picture tests, as well as liver enzymes and kidney function tests, serum RBS, total protein, albumin and globulin were estimated. The Results show that there were no significant differences between individuals with UTI and control in the levels of (GOT, ALT, GPT) and white blood cell counts. However, there were significant differences between the control group and UTI patients in the values of PCV (packed cell volume), Hb (hemoglobin), and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Also, the results show a significant decrease in serum total protein, albumin and globulin levels in the UTI patients compared to the control. UTIs are a common health concern affecting both men and women. Recognizing the symptoms, seeking prompt medical attention, and adhering to treatment are vital steps in managing UTIs effectively and preventing complications. Understanding the differences between UTIs in men and women helps tailor appropriate management and preventive strategies for each population.
