Abstract: Malaria has for century’s defiled eradication due to pathophysiological and environmental complexities. The study was aimed at revealing the effect of malaria parasitaemia on hepatic synthetic fidelity and oxidative stress markers individually and synergistically. A total of five hundred subjects constituted the sample size, out of which two hundred comprised the control and three hundred the test group with grades of parasitaemia. Serum aspartate aminotransferases (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), iron, malonaldehyde and glutathione were analysed using WHO approved methods. The results obtained indicated a significant increase (p
