OBJECTIVE Anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in diabetes. We examined the association between hematocrit, stratified by the presence of CKD, and cardiovascular events in a cohort of Chinese subjects with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 3,983 patients who underwent assessment for diabetes complications were recruited. Su...

Early diagnosis of dengue is crucial to prevent the progression severe (SD) leading mortality rate reduction. This study aimed determine role CXCL10 in and its potential utilization as one biomarkers for early dengue. A case-control was conducted involving healthy subjects control (n = 10) 193 cases. The cases were categorized into without warning signs (DwoWS: n 70; 34.5 %), with (DWWS: 108; 2...

Ahaptoglobinaemia in a sample from northeastern Brazilian was found to be significantly associated with a low hematocrit (Krieger et al, 1965; Morton, Krieger, and Mi, 1966). Further analysis showed no explanation for the association. Individuals with abnormal haemoglobin genotypes SS, SC, and CC were excluded but the association with low hematocrit remained significant (Azevedo, Krieger, and M...

TO THE EDITOR: We appreciate the approach of Drs. Stark and Schuster (13) to elaborate a systematic foundation of the optimal hematocrit concept on physics. However, some corrections and additional information are necessary. It is important to note that the empirical description of Pries et al. (7)—in contrast to the theoretical approaches for bulk viscosity—is based on experiments for tube flo...

The rates of washout of 133Xe and 131I-iodoantipyrine from the myocardium into the coronary sinus blood were determined over a wide range of hematocrits after simultaneous injection of the isotopes into the left anterior descending coronary artery of dogs. The ratio of the monoexponential disappearance constants (kX/kI), which is a measure of the ratio of the dynamic blood-tissue partition coef...

Objective: To assess the degree of hemoglobin correlation as a possible predictor hematocrit and red blood cell count according to age sex in population district Villa El Salvador, Lima, Peru. Materials methods: An observational, analytical, correlational prospective study carried out with 550 menand 700 women all ages who attended monthly preventive-promotional health campaigns, well routine m...

serum ferritin (sf) levels in 734 seven-year-old children was measured by a radioimmuno assay method, and its possible relation-ship with hemoglobin, hematocrit and mchc was investigated. the results showed there was positive correlation between sf with hemo-globin, hematocrit and mchc values.

This report describes the statistical relationship of several whole blood viscosity parameters and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in 53 consecutive patients and normal controls. Significant correlations were present between CBF and serum fibrinogen (P = .05), hematocrit (P less than .05), and a relationship involving both fibrinogen and hematocrit (P less than .01). We conclude that heightened whole...

In the paper we have focused the effect of Hematocrit on flow parameters, such as resistance, frictional resistance, and skin friction due to stenosis in the artery taking blood as non-Newtonian fluid. It has been found that resistance increases with the increasing of hematocrit level and stenosis height. It is also shown that a skin-friction increase with increasing of stenosis height and decr...
