Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to assess thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels in children with Wilson Disease (WD) and to compare them to healthy controls. Methods: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, fifteen children with WD and twenty-nine healthy children were enrolled, and serum thiol/disulfide and IMA levels were compared between groups. Results: The mean values of native and total thiols were significantly lower in the WD group than in the control group. The mean value of disulfide was significantly higher in the WD group than in the control group. The mean percentages of disulfide/total thiol and native thiol/total thiol were higher in the WD group than in the control group. The IMA value was also higher in the WD group than in the control group. Conclusion: The present study demonstrating altered thiol/disulfide parameters indicates increased oxidative stress in children with WD.
