Anemia Of Inflammation

Sialolithiasis is a chronic disease in which a sialolith (salivary stone) causes recurrent inflammation of the affected salivary gland. Anemia of inflammation is a well-described pathology in which a chronic inflammatory disease leads to a reduction in the red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit values. In this retrospective cohort study, we aim to find whether removal of the sialolith and alleviation of the inflammation affect the complete blood count results. We examined data regarding forty-nine patients who underwent surgery for the removal of a submandibular gland sialolith using the duct-stretching technique. Complete blood counts two years before and after the surgical procedure were collected. The average pre-procedure and post-procedure values were calculated for each patient to establish the average blood profile. The pre- and post-procedure values were compared to evaluate the effect of the surgical treatment on the blood profile. We found that the average blood count values for patients with sialolithiasis were towards the lower end of the normal range. Post-surgery, a significant increase in hematocrit, hemoglobin and red blood cell count was observed, which was more pronounced in the older age group and in patients with co-morbidities. We conclude that sialolith removal surgery is associated with significant improvement in the complete blood count values, especially in the elderly and in patients and with co-morbidities. The speculated pathogenesis is relative anemia of inflammation.

Red Blood Cell Distribution

Aim: Anemia is a public health problem worldwide. Cost effectiveness and efficient use of resources are vitally important. Red blood cell distribution width, which can be obtained from a standard complete blood count, is a measure of the variability in size of circulating erythrocytes. The present study was performed to investigate whether red blood cell distribution width can be used to predict response to iron therapy. Methods: This study was conducted in 50 patients admitted to hematology and family medicine clinics. Complete blood count and reticulocyte count were determined on day 5; complete blood count was examined 1 month after commencement of therapy. Results: Statistically significant differences were detected between hemoglobin levels and red blood cell distribution width values at the time of diagnosis and on day 5 and after 1 month of therapy. A significant positive correlation was found between the increase in red blood cell distribution width and the increase in hemoglobin. Conclusion: Red blood cell distribution width may be used in place of reticulocyte count to predict response to iron therapy. Red blood cell distribution width is the best biomarker for this purpose as a component of complete blood count, and therefore it may be accepted as superior to reticulocyte count.

Background: During viral outbreaks, pregnancy poses an increased risk of infection for women. Methods: In a prospective study, all patients admitted for delivery at term to Elena Doamna Obstetrics and Gynecology University Hospital in Iasi, Romania, between 1 April 2020 and 31 December 2020 were included. There were 457 patients, divided into two groups: group 1, SARS-CoV-2-positive patients (n = 46) and group 2, SARS-CoV-2-negative patients (n = 411). Among other tests, complete blood count was determined upon admittance, and the following values were studied: white blood cell count, lymphocytes, neutrophils, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, red blood cell distribution width, hematocrit, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit, and platelet large cell ratio. Results: in pregnant SARS-CoV-2-infected patients at term, there was a significant decrease in white blood cell, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count, and an increase in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, compared to healthy pregnant women at term, although all still within normal limits. None of the other components of the complete blood count or fetal outcomes studied was significantly influenced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant patients at term.

Ideal body weight with proper physical activity and good sleep are essential parameters for good quality of life. This study is concerned with assessing the association of general obesity, physical activity and sleeping hours with hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and red blood cell (RBC) parameters in healthy adults in Sudan. In this cross sectional study, 1086 healthy adults between 20 and 60 years were included out of which 275 were males and 811 were females. A complete blood count (CBC) was performed for Hb, RBC count, PCV, MCH and MCHC using Sysmex KX-21 automated hematology analyzer. The median and 95 percentile (2.5th to 97.5th) range values for Hb and RBC count in underweight were 13.0 (Range: 9.6-16.7) g/dl and 4.6 (Range: 3.6-5.8) ×1000/µL respectively, while Hb and RBC count in obese were 13.1 (Range: 10.4-17.0) g/dl and 4.6 (Range: 3.7-5.9) ×1000/µL respectively, with no significant difference. The RBC count (p=0.004) and Hb (p≤0.001) were significantly high in physically active compared to physically inactive participants; whereas the hemoglobin concentration (p=0.047), red blood cells (p=0.007) and hematocrit (p≤0.001) values were significantly low in long-term sleep compared to normal sleeping hours. In conclusion, there were no significant differences in hemoglobin concentration, RBC count, PCV, MCH and MCHC between under weight, normal weight, overweight and obese persons. Increased physical activity was associated with higher Hb levels and RBC counts, while long-term sleep showed lower Hb and RBCs.

This study was designed to determine whether Averroha bilimbi extract can be used as an alternative anticoagulant for manual complete blood count (CBC) in the hematology clinical laboratory instead of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), the recommended anticoagulant for CBC. Blood from 15 volunteers was extracted and placed in EDTA-anticoagulated tubes and tubes with Averrhoa bilimbi extract. Samples from both tubes were tested for CBC. Using independent t-test the study revealed that there is no difference in the red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and a 3-part differential of EDTA anticoagulated blood and blood with Averrhoa bilimbi extract as anticoagulant. The morphology of lymphocytes and monocytes were not affected, however, the granulocytes showed cytoplasmic distortion and vacuolation in the Averrhoa bilimbi extract.
