Hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) Values from a Sample of Apparently Healthy Adult Population in Jimma Town, Western Ethiopia
Heamatocrit level, a proportion of whole blood cell occupied by red blood cells is a useful tool for the screening of anemia as well as monitor treatment. The main aim of this study was to determine HCT reference values for apparently healthy adult people in Jimma Town, Western Ethiopia. A cross sectional study was conducted in Jimma town to establish HCT reference values for healthy adult peop...
متن کاملHbA1c in healthy, pregnant women.
AIM Congenital malformations and macrosomia in infants of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) still occur, even if diabetic control is considered 'good' (i.e. HbA1c below the nonpregnant upper reference value of 6.3%). We, therefore, measured HbA1c in healthy, pregnant women to determine whether the upper reference value for pregnant women should be lower than the nonpregnant value. MET...
متن کاملSteady state hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume in homozygous sickle cell disease patients in Lagos, Nigeria
Background: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atte...
متن کاملPacked cell volume, haemoglobin, and oxygen saturation changes in healthy smokers and non-smokers.
We have investigated the relationship between cigarette smoking, packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration, and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in 114 non-smokers, 66 light smokers (1-20 cigarettes a day), and 50 heavy smokers (over 20 cigarettes a day) aged 20-75 years. Packed cell volume was greater in female heavy smokers (p less than 0.001) over 40 years of age and in all female smoke...
متن کاملVolume regulatory hormones and plasma volume in pregnant women with sickle cell disorder
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease (haemoglobin SS (HbSS)) mainly affects those of West African origin and is associated with hypervolaemia. Plasma volume rises by up to 50% in normal pregnancy but was previously found to be paradoxically contracted in late sickle cell pregnancy. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is activated very early in human pregnancy to support the plasma volume expansi...
