- Abstract
Objective: To observe the characteristics of serum protein in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) during the symptomatic period., Method: Fifty-five patients with BPPV and 58 control subjects were enrolled in the study. All the patients underwent the Dixe-Hallpike and Roll maneuver to confirm the type of BPPV. The average time of onset was (1.0 ± 0.8)days in the group of BPPV. The clinical features and the laboratory tests of serum protein electrophoresis, blood counts, and liver and kidney function were performed in both groups., Result: The levels of serum albumin (Alb), α1 globulin, α2 globulin and β globulin of BPPV group did not differ statistically in the two groups (P > 0.05); The γ-globulin levels were significantly higher in patients with BPPV than in controls (P < 0.05)., Conclusion: The γ-globulin levels are increased when BPPV is attacking.
