Complete Blood Count among Diabetic Pregnant Women in Soba Teaching Hospital – 2012

Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study which is carried out in soba teaching hospital and Jaber Abu Alaez center to identify the values and different hematological parameters in diabetic pregnant women. This includes hemoglobin and their changes in relation to age variation, type of anemia and duration of pregnancy. The major purpose of the study to evaluate the hematological values and reticuocyte count in diabetic pregnant women, the hematological values will provide valuable informative data for hematological profile of Sudanese diabetic pregnant women sample under normal physiological status. Fifty samples were enrolled, 25 samples were collected in Soba Aradi medical center (SIDO) from normal pregnant women as a control and 25 samples were collected from Soba Teaching Hospital and Jaber Abu Aleaz center from diabetic pregnant women as sample. A needle was inserted into vein above elbow of arm and blood was drained into the sterile K2EDTA containers, informative demographic data on the type of diabetic, sage of pregnancy and age were written in the questionnaire. The Study revealed that the hemoglobin mean value of healthy pregnant women was 11.58±1.44 g/dl, a hematocrit mean value was 0.35 L/L MCV, MCH, MCHC mean values were 80.56±5.14FL, 26.96±1.76 pg and 33.o8±1.25 g/dl respectively. The study revealed that, the mean values for red blood cell count of Sudanese normal pregnant women was 5.84X1012L/L±6.92, Total leukocyte count mean value of 6.76X109/L±1.77 was observed. Overall reticulcyte count on this study showed that reticulocyte count was 1.1%±0.32. In contrast , the study explain that , hemoglobin mean value of Sudanese diabetic pregnant women was 11.20±1.45 g/ld, and hematocrit mean value was 0.33L/L±7.35 MCV, MCH and MCHC mean value were 81.7fl±3.44, 26.2 pg ± 1.54 and 32.6±1.82g/dl. The study revealed that, the mean value for red cell count of Sudanese diabetic pregnant women was 4.4X10 12/L±0.32. The leukocyte count with mean value of 6.2X10 9± 1.53 was observed. Overall reticuocyte count in the diabetic pregnant women showed that reticulocyte count 1.1% ±0.29. The study showed that, there is normal reticulocyte count in diabetic pregnant women.
