To Analyze Hematological Parameters Like CBC, Peripheral Smear, Red Cell Indices in Anaemia in Males

Abstract

Background &Method: Present study is conducted with an aim to analyzehematological parameters like CBC, Peripheral smear, Red cell indices in anaemia in males. Blood was withdrawn from an cubital vein by mean of dry sterile 5mldisposable plastic syringe with a needle of 20 guage after preparing the cubital fossa with a sterile swab, 3ml of blood was withdraw slowly, immediately blood is transferred to sterile tube with di-potassium EDTA as anticoagulant. Result:101 Cases having MCH level <20 pg showed hypochromic picture in 100% cases. 132 cases having MCH level 20-27 pg showed hypochromic picture in (47.6%) cases, ( 4.8%) cases showed normochromic picture and dimorphic picture was seen only in 1 case (0.4%). 17 cases having MCH level >27 pg showed normochromic picture in 14 cases (5.6%), (0.8%) cases showed hypochromic picture and dimorphic picture was seen in (0.4%) cases. The distribution significantly varied with MCH levels (p value <0.05). Conclusion:In the present study of pediatric cases 0-5 years age group males were most affected and prevalence was more in males as compared to females and the predominant morphological pattern was microcytic hypochromic anaemia. Hence, it is recommended that, this age group is compulsorily screened for anaemia. Study of morphological pattern of anaemia directs us to the further management of underlying etiology.
