Abstract:
This analytical case control study was done during the period of
March 2012 to July 2012 in Khartoum state military hospital to determine
the PT, APTT among hypertensive patients seventy patients (70) and
thirty (30) normal controls were studied. A structured questionnaire was
prepared which included the general information and laboratory
investigation and an informal consent was obtained.
Blood, plasma samples were collected from hypertensive patients
and normal healthy control for use in laboratory investigation. The result
shown non significant difference (P= 0.22) between the mean level of
hypertensive patient (15.3 Sec) and control (15.5 Sec) in prothrombin
time (PT), and there is non significant difference (p= 0.20) between the
mean level of hypertensive patient (32.4 Sec) and control (33.4 Sec) in
activated partial thromboplastin time (APPT).
The Result obtain indicated that measurement of prothrombin time
(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin. (APTT) were unnecessary
when evaluating a hypertensive patients in whom there was no clinical
evidence of haemostatic abnormality an approach would eliminate the
need for most of coagulation test done in these patients such as D.Dimar
and Fibrinogen level.
