Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: Physiological range of clinically important hematological parameters and lipid profiles of healthy population in Ethiopia is not well assessed.

Objective: Objective of this study is to determine hematologic and lipid parameters of healthy blood donors in Addis Ababa.

Methods: Red Cross Society located in Addis Ababa was selected as a study area. 336 donors; age range between 18-58 years participated. Venous blood sample was collected by tube containing K3 EDTA for hematology test and sterile tube for lipid test. After centrifugation serum was extracted for lipid test and transported to SPHMMC within 5-8hrs of sample collection. IBM.SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis, P< 0.05 is assumed as significant and 95% CL was accepted.

Results:  RBC, MCV, Platelet and TG were significantly higher in the present study than the reference range; while RBC indices, WBC, Hgb, Hct, HDL, LDL and TC were found to be higher in reference range used in clinical practice; Significantly higher (RBC p=0.000, HGB with p=0.000, HCT p=0.000 and MCHC p=0.009) was observed in male. Significantly higher platelet count and HDL was observed among females (p=0.001, p=0.001 respectively). No significant change in hematological parameters and lipid profiles across age groups was seen.

Conclusion: It is evident from the study that hematological and lipid variables obtained were significantly different from the one’s used as reference range in clinical practice
