This study aims to determine the serum levels of some minerals ions in patients with kidney stones. One hundred and ten adult individuals participated in this study, thirty of them healthy control versus eighty patients with kidney stones, who attended private laboratories in Kirkuk, northern Iraq, in the period from February to April 2023.The results demonstrated that the levels of calcium and magnesium in the serum of kidney stone patients were remarkably lower compared to control group, while phosphate levels decreased notably in the serum of kidney stone patients. It has been concluded that kidney stones increase the concentration of phosphate, which may negatively affect vital signs.

Gall stones are the primary cause of acute cholecystitis, this study was designed to evaluate the levels of blood biochemical markers in patients with gallbladder inflammation, such as superoxide dismutase and liver function enzymes, as well as total protein and bilirubin. One hundred twenty individuals participated in this study, divided into two groups: Forty healthy control individuals versus eighty cholecystitis patients, who attended private laboratories and hospitals in Kirkuk, northern Iraq, from February to April of 2023. Serum examinations of patients and control groups were performed to test liver function, total serum bilirubin, and superoxide dismutase. Results showed an increase in hepatic enzymes activities with high total serum bilirubin in patient group versus control individuals. This study concluded that it is possible to rely on liver enzymes in diagnosing inflammation of the gallbladder and bile ducts.
