| Abstract: |
Objective: The aim of the study was an assessment of the calcium and potassium saliva concentration in patients with multiple sclerosis. Material and Methods: 86 patients with multiple sclerosis and 54 healthy persons were examined. Saliva levels of calcium and potassium were estimated with the use of the colorimetric method. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using t-Student and Chi-square tests. Results: Calcium levels in the saliva of MS patients were statistically lower than in healthy persons. Potassium saliva concentrations of MS patients were statistically higher than in the control group. Conclusion: The observed electrolytes disorders can be associated with the neurological and immunological disturbances which are characteristic for multiple sclerosis. |
