INTRODUCTION Family member with IBD is the greatest risk factor for developing the disease. The hematological profileof first-degree relatives (FDRs) of Crohn's disease (CD) patients was studied in order to identify healthy FDRs at risk to develop disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty CD patients, 90 FDRs, and 28 non-related individuals (controls) were enrolled. Hematological profile and C-re...

OBJECTIVES To study the spectrum of hematological manifestations and evaluate the relationship between various hematological manifestations and CD4 cell counts in a hospital-based cohort of HIV-infected adults in and around Varanasi, North India. MATERIALS-METHODS The clinical and hematological profiles of the patients attending the Infectious Disease Clinic, Varanasi, India were recorded. Th...

We investigated the protective effects of resveratrol on hematological and biochemical changes induced by fluoride in rats. A total of 28 rats were divided into 4 groups: control, resveratrol, fluoride, and fluoride/resveratrol (n = 7 each), for a total of 21 days of treatment. Blood samples were taken and hematological and biochemical parameters were measured. Compared to the control group, th...

SLE can present with hematological manifestations alone or along with features of other system involvement. With a low index of clinical suspicion or inadequate follow up the diagnosis may be delayed or missed at the time of presentation, in those with hematological abnormalities as the initial manifestation. An observational study was conducted among patients of SLE, in a tertiary referral cen...

One hundred ninety-seven children with sickle cell anemia were followed for 4 years at the Wayne State Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center to evaluate the stability of the hematological variables (Hb, Hct, RBC count, MCV, %HbF and %HBA2) over time. The mean values of the hematological measurements taken during three separate 16-month intervals were used to represent an individual's values. The cor...

Background: Hematological parameters are important monitoring tools for assessing treatment and prognosis in HIV. The use of antiretroviral drugs could positively or negatively affect these parameters, depending on the choice of combination used. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the hematological parameters among HIV reactive patients on antiretroviral therapy for at l...

INTRODUCTION Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a potentially curative treatment modality for hematological malignancies. We evaluated the outcome of patients suffering from hematological malignancies, including acute leukemias, chronic myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome after allogeneic transplantation. METHODS All patients having hematological malignancies with...
