Estimation of alpha-klotho protein and some biochemical parameters in atherosclerosis patients

Abstract

The current study aimed to determine the concentration of alpha-klotho protein and some biochemical variables in patients suffering from atherosclerosis.   The study was conducted between October 1, 2023 and October 30, 2023.    The study included collecting 90 samples for both sexes, aged between 45 and 65 years,   60 patients with atherosclerosis, and 30 healthy controls (the number of patients was 25 women and 35 men).      The resuscitation unit at    (Ibn Al-Bitar Teaching Hospital in Baghdad obtained samples from patients based on clinical assessments, including echocardiogram and electrocardiograms, conducted by specialists at the hospital, including laboratory tests. There was no significant difference between the patient group and the healthy group in terms of alpha- klotho protein or other variables.
