Abstract:
The aim of this study was to measure the mean Hemoglobin and
Hematocrit among apparently healthy Students in Sudan University of Science
and Technology.
Total number of samples were 500 ( 251 Males - 249 Females ) .in age group
(17-25) years.
EDTA anticoagulant venous blood samples was collected from each subject
the parameters were measured by using JENWAY calorimeter 6051 for Hb
measurements and Hettich ZentrifuGen D – 78532 tuttingen for HCT .
Analysis was done in laboratories of Sudan university . Computerized
statistical package for social science ( version 16 ) was used for data
processing .
A questionnaire was fulfilled by each subject .
The result of study show that :-
Mean Hemoglobin in males was (12.9 g/dl ) ranged between ( 9.3- 16.5 g/dl)
with P. value (.0000)and in Females ranged between (8 – 14 g/dl) with mean
(11.2 g/dl) with p . value (.000) . Mean Packed Cell Volume in males was
(46% ) ranged between( 37 -55 %) whears in females it was (40 %) and ranged
between (30.8 - 49.2 %) . With p. value (0.000)
-The results obtained show that the mean hemoglobin and packed cell
volume were significantly decreased in females when compared with males .
