Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Leucocytosis
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2014, Vol 67, Issue 8
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex heterogeneous female reproductive endocrine disorder with multiple pathological mechanisms. Persistent leucocytosis, reflecting an underlying inflammation, is well recorded in obesity and diabetes; diseases with an underlying Insulin resistance (IR). Leucocytosis in PCOS has not been widely studied in spite of IR being considered as the important aetiopathological mechanism. The present communication explores the occurrence of leucocytosis in thirty patients of PCOS as compared to that in twenty six healthy regularly menstruating women.
