Measurment of Complete Blood Count in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure under Haemodialysis at Military Hospital

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.
