When hemoglobin is set free in the circulation the kidney plays an important part in the conservation of iron. When the renal threshold is not exceeded by the hemoglobin in the blood there is little or no excess iron deposited in the kidney but when superthreshold doses of blood hemoglobin are given the epithelium of the convoluted tubules accumulates much iron and the iron analyses may show 5 ...

The recent article by Conley et al.1 on the lwneditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin presents some interesting data which relate to the etiology of thalassemia. Ingram and Stretton2 postulate that beta-tlmlassemia is due to a mutation within or close to the l)eta gene resulting in decreased beta chain production and a compensatory increase in delta chain ( hemoglobin A., ) and gamma chain (he...

The present study was conducted to examine different dietary levels of iron (FeSO4) on some haematological parameters of ship sturgeon, Acipenser nudiventris including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBCs), differential WBCs, hematocrit (Hct), Hemoglobin (Hb), the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), the mean corpuscular volume (M...

Aim: Occupational health and safety involves important measures, trainings, screenings as defined by law. The existing literature on occupational medicine practices related clinical laboratory data has considerable room for expansion. aim of this study is to contribute the evaluation workplace with original data.Material Method: workers from Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Turkey, were ana...

This cross-sectional study showed a positive correlation between fatigue-related quality of life, evaluated with the FACT-An questionnaire, and hemoglobin level in 1071 patients with multiple myeloma. Multiple regression analysis adjusting for several covariates was used. Improved FACT-An scores in women and men were associated with hemoglobin increase up to sex-specific normal values.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aims were to compare the red blood cells, platelet count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte cell distribution width, and fasting glucose in peripheral of patients with benign malignant uterine neoplasms relate these laboratory parameters prognostic factors overall survival cancer. METHODS: results analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating chara...

No previous study has investigated the full range of complete blood count (CBC) parameters in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) newborns. The main aim of this study was to compare CBC and peripheral smear parameters in term, healthy SGA neonates and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) neonates, and to establish CBC reference values for full-term SGA newborns. One hundred thirty-two healthy, ter...

Anemia significantly affects quality of life of cancer patients, but the impact of hemoglobin levels on survival is still unclear. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the prognostic role of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin levels in patients with ovarian cancer. Two hundred twenty-two patients were divided in 3 groups based on baseline hemoglobin levels (< 10 gr/dl (54 pts., 24%); 10-1...

Background: Studies have demonstrated that sickle cell trait can be found in an asymptomatic healthy carrier with normal complete blood count (CBC) and red blood cell (RBC) indices. According to Iranian Ministry of Health bulletin instructions, prenuptial Thalassemia Screening Program (TSP) primarily depends on RBC indices which are measured through a routine CBC. Only when these levels are bel...

back ground anemia in pregnancy is associated with increased rates of maternal and perinatal mortality, premature delivery, low birth weight, and other adverse outcomes materials and methods a prospective study was conducted on 1405 iranian pregnant women who delivered during 2015. blood was collected from all the subjects to measure the hemoglobin (hb) during 16-19 weeks, 22-24 weeks, and 34-3...
