The serum protein and serum electrolyte levels in 50 people confirmed to be suffering from myeloproliferative disorder in UNTH was assessed. For serumbprotein; Total protein, Albumin for and globulin were determined. For electrolytes; sodium ion, potassium ion, bicarbonate ion and chloride ion were also determined. For myeloproliferative disorder subjects, 26 were males 24 were females, for the non- myeloproliferative disorder, 10 were males and 10 were females. The mean for serum proteins were; For total protein 5.89 + 0.23, Albumin 2.83 + 1.0, globulin 2.29 + 0.23, for non-yeloproliferative subjects total protein 7.09 +_0.54, Albumin 4.11 + 0.59 globulin 2.98 + 0.58. The mean value for serum electrolyte; sodium ion 137.56 + 4.47, potassium ion 3.73 ± 0.53, Bicarbonate 21.90 ± 2.22, chloride 94.78 ±11.80. For non-myeloproliferative disorder subjects 140.09 + 3.09, 4.18 + 0.51, 25.90 + 1.56, 101.40 + 177. The mean value of myeloproliferative disordr subjects to non myeloproliferative disorder subjects were significantly low P(<0.05) from this research, the myeloproliferative disorder has affected these value by causing their decrease except for globulin which fall within the range.
