RELATION BETWEEN LUMBAR DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE AND HUMAN 8-HYDROXYDEOXYGUANOSINE (8-OHDG) SERUM LEVEL
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: Lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) identified as multifactorial, irreversible and degenerative discopathy. The 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is a nucleoside oxidation of DNA marker of oxidative stress. Present study aim to investigate 8-OHdG levels in patient with LDDD as a marker of oxidative stress. Material and Methods: The study group included 45 patients with LDDD and 49 healthy individuals for control group. Patients with LDDD were examined with lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, Visual Analoge Scale (VAS) scores and neurogical examination. Serum 8-OHdG levels determined with The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Results: Patients with LDDD had significantly increased levels of 8-OHdG than healthy control group (p<0.0001). Also there was positive correlation between Oswestry and VAS parameters and 8-OHdG serum levels (p<0.0001). Conclusion: In this study evaluated the 8-OHdG serum levels in the risk of LDDD. Increased 8-OHdG serum levels were having negative impact on severity of LDDD.
