Acute myeloid leukemia is a second type of leukemia and has more effect on elder patients than adult. This research's objective was to measure the serum levels of ceruloplasmin (CP), ferritin (FR), vitamin B12 (VitB12), folic acid (FA), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) in acute myeloid leukemic patients (AML) (before and after taking chemotherapy) and healthy control groups. In this study, about (160) blood samples (males and females) were collected from acute myeloid leukemic patients in Erbil’s Nanakali hospital and they were separated into four groups: Group 1 (G1) including (40) Apparently healthy control group, Group 2 (G2) include (40) acute myeloid leukemic patients before taking chemotherapy (new cases), Group 3 (G3) include (40) acute myeloid leukemia patients taking chemotherapy for one cycle, and Group 4 (G4) include (40) acute myeloid leukemic patients with taking chemotherapy for more than one cycle. The outcomes display a significant increase in serum concentration of ceruloplasmin, ferritin, vitamin B12, and iron in all patient groups when compared with control groups. While the serum concentration of folic acid, zinc, and copper decreased in all patient groups when compared with the healthy control group. In addition, the correlation analysis displays that there was a significant positive correlation between ceruloplasmin with ferritin, vitamin B12, and iron, on another hand have a non-significant negative correlation between ceruloplasmin with folic acid, zinc, and copper. According to the present study, there was a direct correlation between AML patients with the serum levels of CP, FR, VitB12, FA, Zn, Cu, and Fe. A high area under the curve of our data suggests that testing for (CP, FR, VitB12, FA, Cu, and Fe) could be helpful to detect AML. However, zinc is not a good biomarker for detecting AML patients.
