subject: COVID19 virus, as of those being pandemic, infected millions of humans dead and because of the unknown impact of the pandemic on the population .in Wuhan is a new coronavirus discovered in China in December 2019. By WHO, it is predicted that, by March 11, 2020, the disease pandemic will have spread throughout the world. Must patient was found elevated D- Dimer, oxidative stress reactive oxygen species (ROS), and fasting blood sugar. Besides, increase blood urea and end with dialysis. the objective of the study: To better understand coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by finding possible predictors for kidney damage by a correlation between microalbuminuria and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR)with oxidative stress marker 8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha in urine Material and method:- group I; consist 80 participants (male &female ) hospitalization with covid 19 severe and non sever (confirmed by polymerase chain reaction) COVID-19 patients showed a significant elevation in the levels of albuminuria and oxidative stress marker, we concluded a proportional correlation between the aforementioned parameters and COVID-19 suggesting the uses of these tests to the diagnosis early kidney damage. -group II: consist of 80 participants (male &female ) recovering from coronavirus as a control Results: This study showed a high correlation between Albuminurea and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) with oxidative stress marker8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha in non-severe and severe in patients with COVID-19. Also, the study showed a high correlation between D-dimer and disease progression and severity in patients with COVI19. Conclusion: There is a correlation between Albuminurea and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) with oxidative stress marker8-iso -prostaglandin F2alpha in non-severe and severe in patients with COVID-19 during Progression Keywords: COVID-19, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), ACR oxidative stress, 8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha lipid peroxidation, and albuminuria.

A disruption in the equilibrium between the generation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defense enzymes is referred to as oxidative stress. In the present study, we planned to identify the hepatoprotective effect of Phyllanthus amarus alkaloid rich fraction in wistar strain albino male rats. The hepatic damage was induced by the D-galactosamine and ameliorative effect was tested with alkaloid rich fraction of P. amarus by measuring oxidative stress markers such as G6PDH, LDH, SDH, MDH and GDH in the liver tissue. Activity levels of G6PDH, SDH, MDH and GDH were significantly decreased in D-galactosamine induced hepatitis rats when compare to normal control rat group, while their activities were significantly increased in hepatitis rat group that supplemented with alkaloid rich fraction of P. amarus. In contrast, LDH enzyme activity of liver was significantly increased in the hepatitis rat group when compare to normal control rats, while its activity was significantly decreased in hepatitis rats treated with alkaloid fraction. In conclusion, it is very clear that alkaloid fraction of P. amarus has hepatoprotective property with respect of decreasing oxidative stress by regulating oxidative stress marker enzymes. The isolation and identification of specific alkaloid compounds with hepatoprotective properties and anti-oxidative stress will require much further research.

Background: PCOS is a condition with significant decrease in antioxidant with an increased risk of oxidative stress. Antioxidant supplementation has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in PCOS and may improve outcome of management of PCOS. Objectives of this study were to determine the oxidative stress level of PCOS patients, to assess the effect of antioxidant supplementation on the outcome of management of PCOS and to compare with a control group.Methods: The study was a single blind randomised control trial involving 200 patients with PCOS. The study was conducted at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto. They were randomly divided into intervention and control groups and base line serum levels of oxidative stress marker, antioxidant enzymes, vitamins and minerals were determined. Antioxidant supplementation and placebo were given to the intervention and control groups respectively. All the patients had ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate and were followed up for 6 months. Outcome measures were clinical pregnancy or menstrual regularisation. Level of significance was <0.05.Results: There was statistical significance in the serum levels of oxidative stress marker, antioxidant enzymes, vitamins and minerals between the two groups (post intervention). Glutathione peroxidase (p = 0.001), superoxide dismutase (p = 0.0001), catalase (p= 0.0369), melondialdehyde (p= 0.007), Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (p = 0.0001), zinc and copper (p = 0.0001). The clinical pregnancy outcomes were 22 (22%) versus 2 (2%); live births 18 (18%) versus 2 (2%) and menstrual regularisation 48 (48%) versus 46 (46%) in the intervention and control groups respectively.Conclusions: Antioxidant supplementation in this study significantly affected pregnancy rate in patients with PCOS. Larger studies are suggested to revisit the conclusion of the Cochrane review that antioxidants supplementation had no significant role in female infertility.

Background: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is an oxidative stress marker used to assess the presence and severity of oxidative stress. This marker was first used for early diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. Materials & methods: A variety of IMA studies were carried out to show the effect of oxidative stress on gynecological disorders. Conclusion: This analysis summarizes the literature by conducting electronic research on the relationship between IMA and gynecological disorders.
