Özet
Çalışmada anne ve bebek kanında çinko ve bakır düzeylerinin saptanması annelerin serum çinko ve bakır düzeyleri ve anne yaşı ile bebeklerin doğum ağırlıkları serum çinko ve bakır düzeyleri arasında olası bir korelasyonun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır Aydın Doğumevi ile Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Kliniği’nde 1 Eylül 1999 1 Aralık 1999 tarihleri arasında doğum yapan 45 anne ve bebeği çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur Çinko ve bakır düzeylerinin tayini atomik absorbsiyon spektrofotometri tekniği ile yapılmıştır Bebeklerin ortalama serum çinko düzeyleri 79 5±18 3 48 122 ìg dl annelerin ortalama serum çinko düzeylerinden 64 3±13 5 32 94 61549;g dl anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu p=0 001 Bebeklerin ortalama serum bakır düzeyi 130 6±69 9 61549;g dl annelerin ortalama serum bakır düzeylerinden 245 3±83 2mg dl anlamlı olarak düşük bulundu p lt;0 001 Anne yaşı ile bebeklerin çinko ve bakır düzeyleri arasında korelasyon saptanmadı r=0 149 r=0 175 Annelerin serum çinko ve bakır değerleri ile bebeklerin doğum kiloları arasında korelasyon tespit edilmedi r=0 2 r= 0 175 Sonuçlarımız literatüre uygun şekilde; anne çinko düzeylerinin bebek düzeylerinden düşük anne bakır düzeylerinin ise bebek düzeylerinden yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir Anahtar Kelimeler: çinko bakır kord serumu
