Background: Prolonged decline in the ability of kidney to regulate acid–base balance, eliminate waste products, and manage water homeostasis entered chronic phase, toxic metabolic accumulates erythropoietin secretion by is decreasing causes hematological changes including decrease HCT, MCV, RBCs platelet counts. Hemodialysis became a practical treatment for failure most common method used treat...

The case of spontaneous poisoning of 38 calves with Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) was described. The following indices were measured, among others: haemoglobin content (HGB), red blood cell counts (RBC), white blood cell counts (WBC), haematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), differential white ce...

Periodontal disease is defined as inflammation that is caused by bacteria in dental plaque. This disease is liable to be a factor contributing to the high leukocyte count over an extended period. Furthermore, a number of prospective epidemiologic studies have shown that the leukocyte count is a good predictor of ischemic heart disease (IHD). However there have been few epidemiological studies o...

Background: β-Thalassaemia syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders characterised by a genetic deficiency in the synthesis of β-globin chains due to a defect in β-globin genes. The objective of this study was to determine the haematological features of β-thalassaemia trait (BTT), and to determine the sensitivity of Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mentz...

Phytochemical screening and effect of ethanolic root extract of parameters on albino rats in Akwa Ibom State was investigated. were: haemoglobin concentration (Hb.), white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), platelet (PLT), haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). of the extracts were examined intraperitoneally using albino ...

BACKGROUND Hematology analyzers may ineffectively recognize abnormal cells, and manual differential counts may be imprecise for leukopenic samples. We evaluated the efficacy of the Hematoflow method for determining the leukocyte differential in leukopenic samples and compared this method with the manual differential method. METHODS We selected 249 blood samples from 167 patients with leukopen...

Background Platelets have an important contribution in pathogenesis of different infectious and inflammatory disorders. This study was performed to identify the diagnostic value of platelet count (PLT), and platelet indices in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN).  Materials and Methods In a cross sectional case control s...

A number of studies have shown total leukocyte count to be a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, but there is little information on the role of the individual types of leukocyte, and the role of smoking is controversial. The Caerphilly and Speedwell studies recruited 4,860 men aged 45-63 years between 1979 and 1983 in South Wales and the West of England, respectively. At the 10-year follow-...
