Dr Ravi Kumar Pujari, Dr. Vidya N
Abstract :
Background: Smoking is one factor which can alter the blood cell parameters. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of blood cell parameters in smokers as compared to healthy controls.
Materials and methods: Totally 50 patients between the age group 25 – 65 years were recruited for the present study. They were grouped as group I – healthy subjects, and group II – subjects who smoke. A single examiner collected the necessary periodontal recordings. Five millilitres of venous blood was collected from all the subjects and submitted for haematological analyses.
Results: Significant lower levels of rbc count attributed to folic acid and vitamin B12 levels in smokers. ESR was higher in smokers as compared to healthy individuals.
Conclusion: The result of the present study signifies that smoking has an impact on blood cells parameters.
