Leptin and Adiponectin are considered principal indicators of tuberculosis (TB). They are critical parts of the pathophysiological processes to which treatment can be applied. Thus, this research aimed at finding out the role of Adipocytokines and 25-dihydroxy vitamin D in the aetiology of tuberculosis. The research sample included (90) participants divided into (50) tuberculosis patients and (40) healthy subjects representing the control group who were age and sex-matched. Circulating levels of adipocytokines and 25- dihydroxy vitamin D were analysed by using ELISA techniques. Compared to the subjects of control group, tuberculosis subjects had significantly (P<0.0001) lower levels of serum leptin (5.84±1.83 pg/mL) and vitamin D (2.77±0.52 ng/mL). However, compared to their control counterparts, tuberculosis patients had significantly (P<0.0001) higher levels of adiponectin (16.30±1.23 ng/mL). The ROC curve analysis of Leptin, Adiponectin, and 25-dihydroxy vitamin D indicated a high diagnostic value in predicting the risk of tuberculosis. The present study findings revealed that elevated serum adiponectin with decreased serum leptin levels and hypovitaminosis D are strongly correlated with the pathogenesis and state of tuberculosis.
