an experiment was conducted on eight weak and anaemic goats revealed pale conjunctivae, increased heart rate, rough hair coat, dullness and depression. the haematology showed significantly decreased haemoglobin (7.37±0.16 g %), packed cell volume (pcv)(23.37±0.56%),total erythrocyte count (tec)(8.12±0.18 million/cumm), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (mch) (9.10±0.30 pg) and mean corpuscular volum...

SIR,-We read with interest the leading article by Dr John Rees on the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema (24 November, p 1398). An appreciable, but unknown, number of patients with hypoxia also develop polycythaemia, and in these cases reducing packed cell volume may help to ameliorate pulmonary hypertension. Blood viscosity rises -exponentiall...

BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atten...

<p>There are many direct and indirect methods of measuring the volumetric ratioof red blood cells relative to sample size total blood, but manual carcinogenic method remains most stable least expensive despite possibility human error.The ratio percent packed cell volume is known as (PCV). Our efforts were directed at finding a precise economic for PCV determination. There by, we designed ...

Anaemia may increase the risk of tissue hypoxia in preterm infants. The effect of transfusion on circulation was studied in 33 preterm infants with a mean (SD) gestational age of 29 (5) weeks (range 26-34), birth weight 1153 (390) g (range 520-1840), and postnatal age of 48 (21) days (range 19-100). Packed cell volume, blood viscosity (capillary viscometer), cardiac output, and cerebral blood f...
