Evaluation of Impact of Graves Disease on some Selected Haematological Markers among Subjects.pdf (original) (raw)

Graves' disease, a common autoimmune condition leading to hyperthyroidism, significantly alters hematological markers in affected individuals. This study evaluates various hematological parameters in patients with Graves' disease in Enugu, Nigeria, highlighting notable increases in total white blood cell counts, neutrophils, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates, while observing significant decreases in lymphocyte counts, red blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and packed cell volume compared to healthy controls. These findings underscore the impact of Graves' disease on hematological health, emphasizing the need for enhanced clinical awareness and management strategies within the region.
