Abstract:
This was Descriptive cross sectional study and analytical study
.2102 conducted at Omdurman Hospital during the period March to August
,)The aim of this study is to estimate complete blood cell count (CBC
prothrombin time (PT) and activate partial thromboplastin time (PTT) in
.Sudanese cigarette smokers
-45 samples from cigarette smokers and 30 health individual non
smokers were withdrawn and participants were informed about the study and
agreed for participation. The study population was divided into three groups
according to duration of smoking. Venous blood of 5ml was bleed (2.5ml in
EDTA containers and 2.5ml in trisodium citrate container and investigated
for the count of erythrocyte, white blood cell (WBC) and hemoglobin in full
automated hematology analyzer (Sysmex) was used for the (CBC) analysis
and manual analysis for prothrombin time(PT) and partial thromboplastine
time(PTT).
All cigarette smokers had mean values of hemoglobin (Hb) of 15.1
+_ 1.5g/dl), total white blood cell of 6.4x109 /L, erythrocyte RBC of 5.2
million/ mm3 ), prothrombitime (PT) of 14.4 second and partial
thromboplastine (PTT) of 25.6 second platelets 241x109 /L. The results of
this study concluded that erythrocyte count and Hb were significantly
increased in smokers (p<0.000) but platelets and partial thromboplastin
time were significantly decreased in smokers (p<0.05). The result also
indicated that total white blood cell (WBC) and prothrombin time (PT) were
normal in smokers. Packet cell velum PCV and mean cell hemoglobin were
significantly increase (p<0.000) in smokers
