Recent studies suggest that leukocytes and erythrocytes play a role in coagulation. However, whether leukocytes, erythrocytes and other hematologic variables are associated with risk of venous thrombosis is not well known. To study this, we used data from 2473 patients with venous thrombosis and 2935 controls. The variables assessed were: total leukocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, ...

objective: elevated nucleated red blood cell (nrbc) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (iugr). to investigate the probable association regardless of any known underlying disease, we aimed to study disturbances in nrbc count in infants experiencing idiopathic iugr. materials and methods: twenty three infants regarded iugr without any known cause were ch...

The heritabilities of human blood cell characteristics were estimated in a study of 206 pairs of young adult twins, male and female. White cell numbers, indices related to circulating red cell mass (haemoglobin, red cell count, and haematocrit), and platelet numbers and size all appeared to be accounted for by genetic and nonshared environmental influences only. Mean cell volume (of the erythro...

introduction: no-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (mi), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of n...

a total of 1695 blood samples collected from ten ethnically distinct populations of iran (turks and kurds of rezaieh, lurs, aabolis, baluchis, turks and kurds of shrvan, zoroastrians, tehranis, and kermanis) were examined for six polymorphic red cell enzyme systems, namely red cell acid phosphatase (ap), adenylate kinase (ak), phosphoglucomutase (pgm1), esteraxe d (esd), adenosine deaminase (ad...

BACKGROUND Most studies on blood donors are centered on the selective evaluation of red blood cell parameters with little or no regard to white blood cells and platelets. METHODS One hundred and twelve male blood donors comprising 43 first-time and 69 regular blood donors, drawn from a tertiary health facility in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, participated in the study. Their hematological param...
