OBJECTIVES To evaluate the stability of complete blood count (CBC) parameters by measuring at multiple time points up to 72 h after venepuncture. METHODS 36 samples submitted for routine haematology were measured at 0, 8, 24, 48, 72 h. 18 samples were kept at room temperature (23-25 °C) and the other 18 at 4 °C. The stability of the CBC parameters was determined by comparing the results to th...

Our study aimed to investigate the association between TMPRSS6 polymorphism and risk of iron deficiency anemia. In this analytical (case control) study, venous blood samples were taken from (100) subjects, (50) patients with anemia healthy volunteers as a control group. Hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), (MCH), iron, ferritin measured. Genomic DNA w...

The blood cell profile of captive sedated chital deer revealed a sickle shaped Red Blood Cell (RBC) with the total count of 5.07 ± 0.73 x 10 per cu. mm, the Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration of 10.92 ± 1.56 gm/dl, Packed Cell Volume (PCV) of 34.00 ± 5.19, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) of 65.4 ± 1.46, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) of 21.65 ± 0.21 and a total White Blood Corpuscles (WBC) was 9.1 ...

In this study, we aimed to assess the effects of iron deficiency (ID) on cardiac functions with M-mode, pulse Doppler, and tissue Doppler and to compare the findings with healthy individuals. Twenty one children with only ID (prelatent ID + latent ID + manifest ID/anemia) and completely healthy 23 children were included in the study. Of all patients, complete blood counts were studied, and seru...

ECG, electrocardiogram; CT, computed tomography; M1, acute myeloid leukemia without differentiation; WBC, white blood cells; WHO, World Health Organization; CK-MB, creatine kinase–myocardial band; CBC, complete blood count; APL, acute promyelocytic leukemia; AML, acute myelocytic leukemia; ALL, acute lymphocytic leukemia; CD, cluster of differentiation; HLA-DR, human leukocyte antigen–D related...

This study examines the effect of the whole seed of Garcinia kola [GKS] on various blood parameters, in adult male albino rats. Five groups, of 6 animals per group, were treated by gavage with suspensions of graded concentrations of GKS daily for 5 weeks. The animals were then sacrificed and blood was obtained for estimation of the data herein presented. Packed red cell volume [PCV], hemoglobin...

  Background :Identification of α thalassemia (α thal) a common cause of microcytosis during neonatal periods is an important step prevent unnecessary interventions. Thus, low the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) may consider as α-thalassemia key detection points. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of microcytosis among neonates who born i...

A very high glucose level in a diabetic was associated with an increased electronic mean corpuscular volume (MCV). The hematocrit was falsely high and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) falsely low, while the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) was normal. Blood smears failed to corroborate the abdominal indices. Correct values could be obtained by predilution of the blood in is...

The frequency of thalassemia was determined in a group of 541 healthy adult black males. Individuals with decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) values were evaluated further with hemoglobin analysis, iron studies, and globin chain synthesis. Of the males screened, 13.4% had MCH levels below 27.0 pg, while 1.4% had heterozygous beta thalassemia, 2.3% had iron deficiency, and 5.7% had globi...

Cycling stage races are strenuous endurance events during which exercise-induced variations in hematological parameters are consistently observed. However, specific literature on such changes is scarce and published data have been derived from small samples of athletes. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the hematological response to middle-term strenuous endurance; and (2) to determ...
