Evaluation of Hematological Parameters and Prothrombin time Among Hepatocellularcarcenoma’s Patients Attending Ibn Siena Hospital- Khartoum

Abstract

This study included 20 patients, in Ibn Seena Hospital with hepatocellular carcinoma in which we tested for CBC and estimated the prothrombin time and that is in period from February 2011 to August 2011. Hepatocellular carcinoma is found to affected 14 [70%] males and 6[30%] females. It occurs in the age more 40 years and it is rare in the age less than 40 years old. The study showed that the prothrombin time in these HCC patients is significantly elevated with P value (< 0.05). Hemoglobin and PCV is significantly elevated with P value (< 0.05) that indicates HCC is related to secondary polythyceamia . Some patients have low hemoglobin and other blood parameters due to treatment or chronic condition. But some patients have absolute leucocytosis due to some infections.
