Hematological and Biochemical Profile of Patients Suffering from Non-Atopic Asthma

Abstract

Background: The prevalence rate of asthma is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide and number of patients with asthma is projected to reach 100 million by 2025. Few tests are being used for diagnosis of asthma, but at present no established biomarker is available which may be used for diagnosis and prognosis of asthma. Main aim of this study was to investigate the potential of routine hematological and biochemical parameters as reliable diagnostic biomarker(s) of asthma.
