Plasmodium falciparum, hypoglycemia, urea, Creatinine, Parasitaem.Abstract
Hypoglycemia and kidney failure associated with malaria is common and depends to a large extent on the local prevalence of malaria. The present study is therefore aimed at assessment of glucose, creatinine, and urea in blood serum of Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients in 63 subjects with malaria parasitaemia were selected as test subject based on clinical symptoms and 30 healthy subjects without malaria infection were included as control subjects. The diagnosis of malaria was carried out by thin and thick blood films. The creatinine, urea and glucose were determined with malaria parasitaemia. P. falciparum malaria infection resulted in significant increase in serum urea and creatinine levels of patients with group mild, moderate and high parasitaemia when compared the respective healthy subject's. The serum glucose levels were significantly reduction with all groups parasitaemia. We conclude those kidney dysfunctions and hypoglycemia are clinical features of parasitaemia malaria. This study suggesting that hypoglycemia with malaria parasitaemia may be associated with status of renal impairment.
