Accordingly, frequent khat chewing habit in malaria patients was strongly associated with significant elevated level of GOT (OR = 11.75, 95%CI = 2.59–53.23), GPT (OR = 5.439, 95%CI = 3.11–8.77), albumin (OR = 2.154, 95% CI = 0.805–5.76), platelet count (OR = 8.7, 95%CI = 5.476–13.83) and urea (OR = 14.5, 95%CI = 4.85–43.36) (Table 6). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is malaria.
