Abstract

Background: Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. Affected individuals suffer from pronounced cognitive decline including memory loss, confusion, mood and personality changes, and eventually, inability to manage everyday life Objective: the aim of this study was to assess lipid profile among Alzheimer's Patients in Khartoum state. Materials and methods: in this case control hospital based study conducted in, Khartoum state. 80 subjects were involved. 40Alzheimer's Patients and 40control group was comprised of healthy individual. Serum level of lipid profile (total cholesterol TCH, low density lipoprotein LDL and high density lipoprotein HDL measured by colorimetric method in fully Automated Biochemistry Analyzer (Mindary BS-2000). Results: the serum level of total cholesterol in the Alzheimer's Patients and control group respectively were (188.02±43.77, 158.10±37.79), was a significant increase of serum level of total cholesterol in the Alzheimer's Patients compared to control groups(p value=0.002), the serum level of low density lipoprotein in the Alzheimer's Patients and control group respectively were (52.15±19.16, 80.80±28.16) and there was a significant decrease of serum level of low density lipoprotein in the Alzheimer's Patients compared to control groups(p value=0.000), the serum level of high density lipoprotein in the Alzheimer's Patients and control group respectively were (102.50±28.42, 54.23±22.33), was a significant increase of serum level of high density lipoprotein in the Alzheimer's Patients compared to control groups(p value=0.000). Conclusion: Alzheimer patients had higher total cholesterol and HDL-C, mean while LDL is lower. Alzheimer trauma patients had higher total cholesterol and HDL-C, mean while LDL is lower. Alzheimer family history patients had higher total cholesterol and HDL-C, mean while LDL is lower. مقدمه: مرض الزهايمر هو اضطراب دماغي لا علاج له تدريجي يدمر ببطء الداكره ومهارات التفكير ؛ وفي نهايه المطاف يدمر القدره على القيام بابسط المهام . مرض الزهايمر هو اكثرالأمراض التنكسية العصبية انتشارًا وأكثر أشكال الخرف شيوعًا. الهدف: كان الهدف من هده الدراسه هو تقييم الدهون بين مرضى الزهايمر في ولاية الخرطوم. المواد و الطرق : هذه الدراسه اجريت في مستشفى جعفر ابن عوف المرجعي للاطفال و شملت ثمانين حاله. اربعين مريضا مع مدى اعمار 60-80 ومجموعات ضابطه تتالف من اشخاص اصحاء من نفس اعمار المرضى من دار المسنين بحري ودار المسنات السجانه التابعه لوزاره التنميه الاجتماعيه ولايه الخرطوم. مستويات الدهون في الدم (كوليسترول ، الدهن قليل الكثافه والدهن عالي الكثافه) مقيس بطريقه لونيه في تحليل آلي كامل . النتيجه : زياده ملحوظه في الكوليسترول والبروتين الدهني عالي الكثافه في الدم مع انخفاض معنوي في البروتين الدهني منخفض الكثافه لدي مرضى الزهايمر مقارنه بالافراد الاصحاء الخلاصه: لخصت هده الدراسه الي ان مرض الزهايمر يؤدي الي تغيير مستوي الدهون في الدم .
