Evaluation study of Hemoglobin, Red Blood Cells and Red Blood Cells Indices among Workers at Fuel Stations at Khartoum State

Abstract

This study was carried out in Khartoum State in Al Maali hospital, in period from (May to July 2017) to evaluate some hematological parameters among petroleum station workers in Khartoum state, sixty of petrol stations workers in Khartoum,Bahri and Om durman cities were selected and sixty of other healthy individuals were selected as control group. Two and half ml of venous blood was withdrawn from each person, placed in ethylene di amine tetra acetate container, then agitator to mix samples with anticoagulant and that to measure Hb and RBCs indices , SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the results, the results obtained show that the mean values of Hb, RBCs, HCT, MCV, MCH and MCHC were (13.9) g/dl, (5.16)×1012/L, (44%), (85)fl, 27pg, and (33) g/dl respectively. The results showed no significant differences in these parameters when compared to control (P.value > .05) (0.070,0.067,0.060,0.090,0.083,0.095) respectively. The results of workers who were smokers had Hb ( 14.0)g/dl, RBCs (5.14)×1012/L, HCT (46%), MCV (88)fl, MCH( 27) pg and MCHC(30)g/dl, the result showed no significant differences when compared with parameters of nonsmoker workers (p.value >0.05) (0.199, 0.761, 0.998, 0.598, 0.676, 0.480) respectively. According to employment duration from (<5), (5-10) and (>10) years, the results of Hb (14.0) ,(13.5)and(14.1)g/dl respectively. RBCs (5.20), (5.20) and (5.10) × 1012/l, HCT (47), (47) and (48) %. MCV (90), (88) and (90) fl, MCH (27), (27) and (27) pg, MCHC (30), (30), and (30)g/dl),with no significant differences inregard to controls (P.value > 0.05(0.752, 0.309,0.325,0.376,0.117,0.341) respectively. This work concluded that no significant differences in studied parameters among the workers and control.
