Abstract:
Objective To investigate the metabolic changes and significance of serum biochemical indexes in obese children.Methods A total of 70 children diagnosed with obesity were included in obese group at Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital from January to October 2022.Additionally,55 healthy children were selected as control group.5ml of fasting venous blood was collected from each participant,and after centrifugation for serum separation,laboratory biochemical tests on liver and kidney function were conducted.The tested parameters included albumin(ALB),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine(CRE),direct bilirubin(DBIL),glutamyltransferase(GGT),globulin(GLO),high density lipoprotein(HDL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL),low density lipoprotein(LDL),total bilirubin(TBIL),total cholesterol(TCH),triglycerides(TG),total protein(TP),uric acid(UA),and the ratios of albumin/globulin(A/G),AST/ALT,and BUN/CRE.Results The children in obese group,serum levels of ALB,ALP,ALT,AST,CRE,GGT,LDL,TCH,TG,TP,and UA were higer than those of chidren in control group,while AST/ALT,BUN/CRE,and HDL were lower than those of chidren in control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).A/G,BUN,DBIL,GLO,IBIL,and TBIL showed no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).Principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis models distinctly distinguished children in obese group from control group,with AST/ALT,UA,and ALT contributing the most to the discrimination.Body mass index showed a negative correlation with AST/ALT(r=-0.327,P<0.05)and a significant positive correlation with UA levels(r=0.410,P<0.01).Conclusion Obese children exhibit significant impairment in liver and kidney function and significant metabolic differences compared to healthy children,with AST/ALT and UA being the most significant indicators of difference.
