Red Blood Cell Indices

Erythrocyte morphology is a reflection of both physiological and pathological reactions occurring in the body of patients with diabetes mellitus (hyperglycemia, adipose tissue dysfunction, dyslipidemia, lipid peroxidation, angiopathy, diabetic nephropathy, etc.). There are no available data in the literature that would characterize gradual and progressive changes in the morphology of the erythron system in patients with diabetes mellitus, the more so any analysis of the relationships with pathogenetic factors affecting them.Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the nature of erythrocyte index relationships with vascular and metabolic complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main objective of the study was to determine the changes in red blood cell indices at different stages of diabetic microangiopathies and in the presence of different indicators of metabolic control.Material and Methods. A total of 122 patients were enrolled in a single-stage, single-center, comparative, controlled study. Patients were assigned to three groups: group 1 comprised patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 41); group 2 comprised patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 67); and group 3 comprised control patients (n = 14). Statistical processing of the results was performed using the SPSS Statistics 20 software.Results. Patients with diabetes mellitus are characterized by qualitative changes in the erythron system manifesting as changes in red blood cell indices.The study identified the significant associations between the changes in erythron system (erythrocyte indices) and various phenotypic features of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, namely: the duration of diabetes of over 10 years, type 2 diabetes mellitus in combination with obesity, and the presence of dyslipidemia, diabetic retinopathy, and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus if glycated hemoglobin exceeded 8% with a subsequent corresponding increase per each 1%.Conclusion. Additional studies are required to implement these markers, in particular, a red cell distribution width, as risk factors for unfavorable prognosis i.e. the risk of developing various diabetes mellitus complications.

Abstract Objectives Serum lipids may influence the lifespan of erythrocytes, and have been associated with clinical erythrocyte indices at the population level. Consumption of whole eggs vs. egg whites exerts varying effects on serum lipids and lipoprotein profiles; therefore, we investigated whether egg-induced changes in serum lipids correspond to changes in clinical erythrocyte markers. Methods Young, healthy men and women (18–35y, BMI < 30 kg/m2, n = 11) were recruited to participate in an ongoing intervention trial. All subjects followed an egg-free diet for 4 weeks, then were randomized to consume either 3 whole eggs or 3 egg whites per day for 4 weeks. Fasting serum lipids, complete blood cell counts, and dietary intake analysis was performed at the end of each study period. Results Average serum lipids and erythrocyte indices were within normal ranges at the end of each diet period. Changes in total cholesterol following the whole egg (+4.8%) and egg white (0.4%) diet period were not significant as compared to the egg-free diet period. Similarly, clinical erythrocyte markers were not significantly altered by daily consumption of whole eggs or egg whites. However, changes in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol between diet periods were positively correlated with changes in total red blood cell counts and hemoglobin. Total cholesterol was additionally correlated with hematocrit levels, and negatively associated with red cell distribution width. Total red blood cell counts and hemoglobin were further correlated with changes in the total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratios, but not HDL-cholesterol alone. Conclusions Our findings indicate that egg-induced changes in serum lipids are associated with clinical erythrocyte indices, and that total cholesterol levels and dyslipidemia may be more significant determinants of erythrocyte profiles.
