Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses at or less than 20 weeks of gestation or with a fetal weight less than 500 grams. The aim was to compare platelet distribution width and red cell distribution width between pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and pregnant women without a history of pregnancy loss.Methods: This was a prospective study to the evaluation of 70 pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and 70 pregnant women without a history of pregnancy loss in the first trimester.Results: When compared pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and 70 pregnant women without a history of pregnancy loss, the pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss had significantly higher platelet distribution width and red cell distribution width (p≤0.001 for both). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, BMI, Hemoglobin, TLC, hematocrit, platelecrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (p>0.05).Conclusions: An increased platelet distribution width and red cell distribution width with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Background: Detection of iron deficiency early during pregnancy is essential for correct management. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a new routine parameter in fully automated hematology analyzer that can give the idea of early iron deficiency before Hb%. This study was aimed to see the role of red cell distribution width and Hb% in determining early iron deficiency in pregnant women.Methods: In this study 190 pregnant women were included. CBC including Hb% and RDW and iron profile were done. RDW were compared with Hb% in various stages of iron deficiency.Results: RDW was more significant than Hb level in latent iron deficiency when Hb level was normal (p<0.05). In mild and moderate iron deficiency anemia, RDW was increased progressively though Hb level was reduced. In this study RDW had sensitivity 82.3% and specificity 97.4%. Whereas Hb level had sensitivity 56.6% and specificity 90.9% for iron deficiency.Conclusion: Latent iron deficiency without other complicating disease could be screened out early by increased RDW when Hb% was normal.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 137-141

Background and Methods. Red cell distribution width (RDW) has emerged as a prognostic marker in patients with cardiovascular diseases. We investigated mortality in patients with diabetes included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, in relation to baseline RDW. RDW was divided into 4 quartiles (Q1: ≤12.4%, Q2: 12.5%–12.9%, Q3: 13.0%–13.7%, and Q4: >13.7%). Results. A total of 3,061 patients were included: mean age 61±14 years, 50% male, 39% White. Mean RDW was 13.2%±1.4%. Compared with first quartile (Q1) of RDW, patients in Q4 were more likely to be older, female, and African-American, have had history of stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, and have chronic kidney disease. After a median follow-up of 6 years, 628 patient died (29% of cardiovascular disease). Compared with Q1, patients in Q4 were at increased risk for all-cause mortality (HR 3.44 [2.74–4.32], P<.001) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 3.34 [2.16–5.17], P<.001). After adjusting for 17 covariates, RDW in Q4 remained significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR 2.39 [1.30–4.38], P=0.005) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.99 [1.17–3.37], P=0.011). Conclusion. RDW is a powerful and an independent marker for prediction of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes.

OBJETIVO: Detectar alterações nos índices plaquetários em indivíduos com doença hepática alcoólica crónica e trombocitopenia e determinar o seu grau de correlação com outros parâmetros hematológicos. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados um total de 65 indivíduos, divididos em dois grupos: controlos (n = 35) e com doença hepática alcoólica crónica e trombocitopenia (n = 30). O grupo controlo foi emparelhado por idade e sexo com o grupo de doentes. A todos eles, foi efectuado hemograma completo, incluindo índices plaquetários. RESULTADOS: Os doentes com doença hepática alcoólica crónica apresentaram contagem de eritrócitos, leucócitos e plaquetas significativamente inferiores aos encontrados na população controlo. O mesmo se verificou com os valores de hemoglobina, hematócrito e valores absolutos de linfócitos e neutrófilos. O volume globular médio, a hemoglobina globular média e o RDW ("red cell distribution width") revelaram-se significativamente superiores no grupo de doentes. Relativamente aos índices plaquetários, foi encontrado aumento estatisticamente significativo do PDW ("platelet distribution width") e uma diminuição estatisticamente significativa no plaquetrócrito no grupo de doentes quando comparado com o grupo controlo. Em relação ao volume plaquetário médio não se encontraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos. Foi encontrada correlação estatisticamente significativa entre a contagem de plaquetas e os outros parâmetros hematológicos analisados. O plaquetrócito revelou-se o índice plaquetário que mais se relaciona com os restantes parâmetros hematológicos. CONCLUSÃO: Os doentes com doença hepática alcoólica crónica apresentam diminuição nas três linhas hematopoiéticas, possivelmente associada com o hiperesplenismo que estes doentes apresentam. Adicionalmente às alterações numéricas, encontraram-se alterações morfológicas a nível dos eritrócitos e plaquetas, demonstráveis pelos índices eritrocitários e plaquetários.
