| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study is determine the effect of cement dust on liver and kidney parameters that include liver enzymes (S.ALP , S.ALT ,S. AST) , total serum protein , urea and creatinine inworkers that exposing to cement dust in AL-Anbar mosaic factory . The results show that an increased in urea (workers= 46.7±0.826 , control=30.26±0.613),creatinine (workers=1.23±0.074, control=0.653±0.0601)and in S.AST activity (workers=29.3±0.809 , control=6.29±0.720) S.ALT activity(workers=24.04±1.163 , control=6.63±0.822) , while no significantly difference inS.ALP activity(workers=4±0.477, control=5.23±0.657) and serum total protein(workers=6.239±0.13 , control=6.387±0.18) when compared between theworkers and control group. | ||
