Association of Serum MMP 9 Level with COPD and Healthy Control in North Indian Population
Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
- Background: Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide. MMP 9 is an acute phase reactant secreted by the liver in response to infection, inflammation or tissue damage. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 35 healthy controls and 40 COPD patients at a tertiary care hospital in north India. MMP 9 levels were measured in serum by ELISA Kit. Results: The present study showed that mean MMP 9 levels in serum was significantly higher in COPD group as compared to control group (p<0.0001) and the levels increased with the increasing severity of the disease. Conclusion: Our study confirms that MMP 9 levels were significantly higher in COPD patients as compared to controls and their levels increased with the increasing severity of the disease. Measuring MMP 9 levels in combination with other biochemical markers can be helpful in monitoring disease outcome and management of the disease.
