Effects of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors on Liver Enzymes and Electrolytes in Relation to Hematologic Response in Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Meyloid Leukemia: Assiut University Hospital Insight

Determine the effects of tyrosine kinase Inhibitors on liver enzymes and electrolytes in relation to hematologic response in patients with chronic phase chronic meyloid leukemia.. Assiut University Hospital insight..

Study Overview

Detailed Description

CML is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with unique biological and clinical features.

CML accounts for 15_20% of newly diagnosed cases of leukemias among adults. CML can present in three clinical phases : chronic phase, accelerated phase and blast phase.

CML is characterized by prodction of a breakpoint cluster region abelson(BCR-ABL) fusion protein with ABL kinase activity. This is due to reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22.

Imatinib & Nilotinib, an ABL kinase inhibitors, which has revolutionized the CML therapy, are a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The aim of the study is to determine the changes of liver enzymes and electrolytes in relation to hematologic response during treatment period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Follow up liver enzymes as AST, ALT, ALP and GGT before starting treatment and during the period of treatment by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (Imatinib & Nilotinib).
Time Frame: 6 months
Changes happen in liver enzymes after a period of treatment by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (Imatinib & Nilotinib) which are assessed by measuring liver enzymes as AST, ALT, ALP, GGT before starting treatment and during the period of treatment and the relation between these changes and the hematologic response to the treatment that is assessed by CBC and BCR-ABL Gene.
6 months
Follow up electrolytes as Na, K, Ca and P before starting treatment and during the period of treatment by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (Imatinib & Nilotinib)
Time Frame: 6 months
Changes happen in electrolytes after a period of treatment by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (Imatinib & Nilotinib) which are assessed by measuring electrolytes levels before starting treatment and during the period of treatment and the relation between these changes and the hematologic response to the treatment that is assessed by CBC and BCR-ABL Gene
