Assessment of Hematological Parameters in Ischemic Stroke Patients Saba Ghaffar

The title of my book is Assessment of Hematological Parameters in Ischemic Stroke Patients. The study was done at hospital from January 2013 to July 2013. For this purpose samples were collected from local population and divided into two groups i.e. Ischemic and controlled. Data regarding risk factors was collected by Questionnaire. Their hematological parameters such as WBCs count, RBCs count, Hgb concentration, HCT, MCV, MCH and PLT count were assessed by hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS (Version 13). The WBCs count, MCV, MCH and HCT were found significantly higher in ischemic stroke subjects while significant decrease was observed in RBCs count and hemoglobin concentration. PLT count increased in ischemic stroke subjects. It is concluded that in ischemic stroke patients hematological parameters are greatly altered.
