Abstract:
This is cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Military Hospital
at Aref center of dialysis , to measure complete blood count of patients with chronic
renal failure under haemodialysis , to detect the effect of haemodialysis duration on
complete blood count and to determine the type of anaemia which found in patients
with CRF.
70 sample were collected from patients with CRF , also 50 sample collected from
apparently healthy pepoles as acontrol , 2.5 ml of blood was collected from patients
and controls , automated haematological analyzer (sysmex KX- 21N) was used to
measure complete blood count .Informative demographic data of sex , age , duration
and other disease were collected in the questionnaire
The result showed that the haemoglobin mean value of patients with CRF was
8.1g/dl ± 2.2 , mean value of MCV, MCH , MCHC were 91fl ± 5.9, 27pg ± 2.3 ,
29g/dl ± 2.0 respectively PCV was 27% ± 6.9 , leucocyte count ,red cells and
platelets count were 4.8×109L ± 2.7, 2.9×1012 L± 0.8 and 190×109 L+B 96.8
respectively . Age in this study was divided into three groups 15-30 , 31-45 and 46-
75.There was no relationship between age group and Hb , RBCs count and PCV
level , also there was no significant difference in Hb , PCV and RBCs count
according to sex.
The study conclude that the duration of haemodialysis does,not affect Hb , RBCs
and PCV .The most common type of anaemia in patients with chronic renal failure
was normocytic normochromic anaemia (86%) and (14%) was microcytic
hypochromic anaemia.
