    Abstract

    Background: Common and severe TBI causes impairment. TBIs are most often caused by falls, car accidents, and suicides, which vary by age and area. TBI, liver, and renal function are studied to prevent and classify brain injury. Secondary injuries, Glasgow Coma Scale limits, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and congenital anomalies exacerbate TBI and liver and kidney function. Hepato-biliary ultrasounds and liver function testing improved TBI critical care. Methods: The study included 40 healthy and 40 TBI patients per gender. Mental illness, seizures, and CNS infections were excluded. The serum was collected from all 7 mL blood samples after clotting. Small aliquots were taken for serum analysis. Biochemical tests included ALT, AST, Blood Urea, and Creatinine for liver and renal function. Statisticians calculated continuous variable standard deviation with SPSS Statistics 17 for Windows. A significance level of P < 0.05 was used for analysis.
