Effect of Smoking on Hematological Parameters in Human Beings
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Fresh peripheral blood samples from healthy adult non-smokers and smokers (males) were collected and analysed for RBC count, hemoglobin (Hb) content, packed cell volume (PCV), MCV, MCH and MCHC, total and differential leucocytes (WBC) counts and total platelets count. The results revealed significant reduction in RBC count, Hb content and PCV in smokers. Study shows that total WBC count, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes were significantly increased in smokers; however lymphocytes count was significantly decreased. Platelets counts were significantly higher in smokers than that of non-smokers. It is concluded that smoking alters hematological parameters that is injurious to health.
