Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Alcoholism represents one of the most serious worldwide socio economic health problems. It is one of the leading cause of preventable mortality, second only to cigarette smoking. Multiple organs can be involved like Hepatobiliary system, cardiovascular system, Central nervous system, Haematopoietic system. Impact of alcohol on haematopoitic system divided into direct and indirect effects. Anaemia is a predominant feature among chronic alcoholics. The study is done to know haemoglobin levels in alcoholics as compared to non alcoholic individuals. 25 adult patients who are moderate alcoholics, 25 patients who are severe alcoholics and 25 adults patients who are non alcoholics were selected. Haemoglobin Estimation was done in all alcoholics and nonalcoholics subjects by Sahli’s methods.Statistical analysis was done .P value <0.05 was considered as significant.It was observed Hemoglobin levels in severe alcoholics was less than moderate alcoholic subjects. Both moderate and severe alcoholic subjects had haemoglobin levels less than that of non-alcoholic subjects.This shows that haemoglobin levels in alcoholic subjects are decreased. This study will help to create awareness for diagnosis of anemia by estimating low haemoglobin levels in alcoholic subjects.
