Abstract

Cigarette Smoking carries higher risks for most of chronic disease, it also has chronic and acute effects on hematological parameters . This descriptive (case – control) analytical study carried out in Khartoum state from April to December 2014 to determine the effect of cigarette smoking on some of blood values on healthy smokers . In this study cigarette smokers of hundred males participant ( 50 smokers and 50 non smokers ), between the age of 17-60 years old in Khartoum state were investigated , used structural questionnaire and blood sample were taken . The result of this study revealed that Hb,RBC,S ,HCT,MCV,MCH,MCHC,PLT,S,PDW,MPV,PCTwere(14.2±1.85g/dl,4.89±0.55×106/ml,47.7±3.2%,83.5±8.48fl,29.1±2.78pg,37.5±2.64%,416.6±77.44×103µl,15.3±0.21%,10.4±1.35fl,0.24±0.05% (respectivelyinsmokers, while in non smokers group were ( 11.4±1.13g/dl, 4.87±0.39×106/ml,36.2± 3.04%, 72,7± 4.97fl, 25,2± 2.44pg, 31.6± 5.98%, 239×103± 71.02µl, 11.6± 1.2%, 8.9± 1.36fl, 0.24±0.06%) respectively . The result show that there is significant increased in Hb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT,s ,PDW, and MPV in smokers P<0.05(, while RBC,S and PCT didn’t show significant difference between smokers and non smokers . More ever the age had no effect on that parameters . The group of smokers also sorted into subgroups of ( ≥10 years , < 10 years ) according to their back years of smoking , the effect of back-years smoking on blood values is also investigated and show no significant difference between two groups , also the group of smokers sorted into two subgroup according to the number of cigarette per day ( ≥ 10 cigarettes, < 10 cigarettes ) , the effect of number of cigarette per day on blood values is also investigated and show no significant difference between two groups .
