To study relation of haemoglobin level and platelet count

Background The relationship between haemoglobin level and platelet count was carried among 116 volunteer with respect to differences between platelet count within haemoglobin (gm%) level within platelet count.

Methods Blood samples were collected into EDTA anticoagulant bulbs for both platelet count and haemoglobin level from healthy subjects.

Results Statistical analysis showed significant differences (p<0.05) between haemoglobin level that fell within platelet count 1.5 to 2.5 lacs/mm3 as (11.7±1.62) and haemoglobin level that fell within platelet count 2.51-4 lacs/mm3 as (9.1±2.40). statistical analysis also show a significant difference (p<0.05) between platelet count that fell within the haemoglobin level less than 11 gm% as (2.62±0.86) and platelet count that fell within haemoglobin level of 11-16 gm% as (2.11±0.42).

Conclusions The above results indicate that there is a relationship between low and high level of haemoglobin on platelet count and vice versa.
