Abstract
Objective: Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) are trace elements associated with the pathogenesis of many physiological functions and diseases in our body. In this study, we investigated the variation of Zn and Cu levels in individuals with various pre-diagnosis who applied to Van Dursun Odabaş Medical Center of Van YYU during the last three years.
Material and Methods: The Cu and Zn results of 234 individuals including 74 children (18 years old and younger) and 160 adults (19 years and older) in between 2014 and 2016 years and were pre-diagnosed with GIS diseases, endocrine disorders, neurological diseases and Cu and Zn metabolism disorders, and were evaluated according to the age and reference interval levels. Cu and Zn levels were measured by Atomic-Absorption-Spectrophotometer (AA7000-Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).
Results: The means of Cu and Zn were found in reference interval in children with Cu and Zn metabolism disorders, whereas 92%-80% for neurological diseases and 78.6%-100% for Cu or Zn metabolism disorders in adults, respectively. Urinary Cu and serum Zn levels are determined higher than upper reference limits in children and adults pre-diagnosed with endocrine disorders. Furthermore, those were determined less than minimum reference limits in patients with Cu and Zn metabolism disorders.
Conclusion: These results showed that urinary Cu and serum Zn levels in childrens and adults with pre-diagnosed endocrine disorders were determined higher than upper limits of reference interval according to those Cu and Zn levels has importance in patients with pre-diagnosed endocrine disorders.

Abstract
Amaç: Çinko (Zn) ve Bakır (Cu), vücudumuzda birçok fizyolojik fonksiyon ve hastalıkların patogeneziyle ilişkili olan eser elementlerdendir. Çalışmamızda, son üç yıl boyunca YYÜ Dursun Odabaş Tıp Merkezi’ne başvuran ve çeşitli hastalık ön tanısı alan bireylerde, Zn ve Cu düzeylerinin nasıl değiştiği araştırıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2014-2016 yılları arasında gastrointestinal sistem (GİS) hastalıkları, endokrin bozukluklar, nörolojik hastalıklar, Cu ve Zn metabolizması ve diğer bozukluklar ön tanısı alan 74 çocuk (18 yaş ve altı) ve 160 yetişkin (19 yaş ve üstü) olmak üzere toplamda 234 bireyin Zn ve Cu sonuçları, yaş ve referans aralığı düzeylerine göre değerlendirildi. Ayrıca değerlerin %’de kaçının referans değeri aralığından saptığı belirlendi. Cu ve Zn düzeyleri Atomik Absorpsiyon Spektrofotometresi (AA7000-Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) cihazında ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Cu ve Zn ortalama değerlerinin, Cu ve Zn metabolizması bozukluğu ön tanısı alan çocuklarda, tamamı referans değeri aralığındayken, yetişkinlerde ise nörolojik hastalıklar için sırasıyla %92 ve %80, Cu ve Zn metabolizması bozukluğu için ise %78,6 ve %100 olduğu gözlendi. Çocuk ve yetişkinlerde referans değeri aralığının üzerindeki idrar Cu ve serum Zn ortalamaları sırasıyla %10.0-18.8 ve %50-20 ile en fazla endokrin bozukluk tanısı alan hastalarda idi. Ek olarak, Cu veya Zn metabolizması bozukluğu ön tanısı alan bireylerde ise, bu değerlerin referans değeri aralığının altında olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, endokrin bozukluğu ön tanısı alan çocuk ve yetişkinlerde idrar Cu ve serum Zn düzeylerinin diğer farklı hastalık ön tanısı alan bireylere göre daha yüksek oranda referans değeri aralığından saptığını ve bu hastalık grubunda Cu ve Zn testlerini istemenin önemli olabileceğini göstermektedir.
