Abstract
Abstract: The disorder of tobacco cigarette smoking is common worldwide. However, alterations in hematological parameters were expected. Data from Sudanese on this field is limited. The study aimed at identifying the impact of tobacco cigarette smoking on hematologic characteristics of blood. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Port Sudan Ahlia College, Sudan. Two hundred male subjects participated in this study: smokers (n=100) and non-smokers (n=100). Complete blood count was performed by using URIT automated hematology analyzer. The smoker subjects had significant high levels of red blood cells (P < 0.001), hematocrit (P < 0.000), hemoglobin (P < 0.000), and mean corpuscular volume (P < 0.004), whereas mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (P < 0.000) was significantly low. Accordingly, our results indicate that the prolonged smoking has adverse effects on hematologic parameters and these changes may predicted with a high risk for developing hypercoagulability, polycythaemia or other serious diseases.
