Investigating Some Of Blood Parameters In Women With β-Thalassemia

Abstract

Abstract The current study was conducted in the Department of Life Sciences - Faculty of Science - University of Qadisiyah in cooperation with Maternity Hospital and Educational Children and the Center for Hematology in Diwaniyah for the period from 1/10/2017 to 1/4/2018. Fifty (50) samples were taken from women aged 15 to 35 years, and were divided into two groups: 30 women with thalassemia (experimental group) and 20 women without thalassemia (control group). Two (2) milliliter were taken from thalassemia-treated women and 2ml from healthy women for the purpose of conducting blood tests for phytoplankton, blood groups and the level of ferritin in the body. The results of the present study showed a significant decrease (P <0.01) in all blood parameters, hemoglobin, blood corpuscular, corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin in corpuscular and mean corpuscular hemoglobin contraction, compared with control group. Chemo-biological tests like ferritin testing confirmed significant ferritin increase by P<0.01 for the experimental group compared to the control group.
