SEROPREVALENCE OF BLADDER TUMOR ANTIGEN IN HOSPITALIZED CATHETERIZED PATIENTS AND HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS OF DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL GROUPS IN NNEWI
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
A study to determine the comparative analysis of seroprevalence of bladder tumor antigen in hospitalized catheterized patients and healthy individuals of different professions including smokers conducted on a total of 89 subjects (87 tests and 2 controls). Test was performed using a solid phase enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) method with bladder tumor antigen kit. Results revealed that 7(7.9) were high normal, 7(7.9) were abnormal out of 89(100) persons. Highest prevalence of bladder tumor antigen occurred in hospitalized catheterized patients 7(7.9) and 7(7.9) respectively with significant in test group (x2=19.450, p=0.000), while there was no prevalence in non-catheterized individuals with no significant difference (p>0.05). the profession with the highest prevalence in different age ranges was seen in painters(28.6% and 42.9% respectively) with no significant difference (p>0.05).In summary BTA was found in hospitalized catheterized patients having the highest BTA level. The most significant risk factor for BTA was in catheterized status.
