Abstract | UNLABELLED: RESULTS: Both serum TPO level and serum TAO activity were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in thrombocytopenic patients with viral cirrhosis when compared to both non thrombocytopenic and control groups. In contrast, TPO level was within the normal range in the patients with scistosomiasis either thrombocytopenic or not. while serum TAO activity was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in both thrombocytopenic and non thrombocytopenic patients with schistosomiasis in comparison to control subjects with no significant difference between these two subgroups. Serum MDA concentration was increased significantly (p < 0.05) in all diseased groups when compared to controls with significant increase in thrombocytopenic patients as compared to non thrombocytopenic. CONCLUSION:
