ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The novel SARS-CoV-2 infection has been spreading around the world since January 2020 causing the Corona Virus Disease 2019. Leukopenia, lymphopenia and hypercoagulability with elevated D- Dimers have been described in COVID-19 patients to date. This study aimed to clarify if some blood parameters can be used as biomarkers to facilitate diagnosis and establish prognosis. Methods: We selected patients who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and had had a hemogram performed between the March 15 and April 15, 2020. Socio-demographic and analytical data were obtained from 274 patients at admission in two Portuguese public hospitals. We then analyzed the hemogram parameters at admission in the intensive care and collected data on patient survival during the SARS-CoV-2 disease follow-up. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Patients requiring the intensive care unit (ICU) present an increase in leukocytes and neutrophils (+3.1 × 109/L and +6.4 × 109/L, respectively), a lymphocyte decrease and a platelet rise (-1.6 × 109/L and +60.8 × 109/L, respectively). The erythrocytes, hemoglobin and median globular volume tend to decrease (-0.5 × 1012, - 1.2 g/dL; -3 fL, respectively). The lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) at admission was significantly higher (+58.1 U/L). The age, sex, platelets, lymphocyte count neutrophil counts, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, erythrocytes and cell hemoglobin concentration mean (CHCM) are independently associated with mortality (odds ratio (OR) = 0.046, p < 0.001; OR = 0.2364, p= 0.045; OR = 9.106, p= 0.001; OR = 0.194, p= 0.033; OR = 0.062, p= 0.003; OR = 0.098, p= 0.002; OR = 9.021, p < 0.001; OR = 7.016, p= 0.007, respectively). Conclusion The hematological data at admission in the health care system can predict the mortality of the SARS-CoV-2 infection and we recommend its use in the clinical decisions and patient prognosis evaluation.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho é o de estudar as subpopulações dos reticulócitos e a fração de reticulócitos imaturos (IFR) enquanto indicadores de atividade eritropoética em pacientes com anemia por deficiência de ferro e determinar o seu grau de correlação com os marcadores tradicionais de deficiência de ferro. Estudamos um total de 96 indivíduos, com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 86 anos, divididos em dois grupos: indivíduos controle (n=30) e indivíduos com anemia por deficiência de ferro (n=66). A todos eles foi efetuado hemograma completo, incluindo contagem de reticulócitos e os seus índices de maturação, ferro, transferrina, ferritina e capacidade total de fixação do ferro. Os indivíduos com anemia por deficiência de ferro mostraram um aumento da proporção de IFR quando comparados com o grupo controle (15.02 ± 9.70 por cento vs 6.43 ± 3.98 por cento, p<0.01, respectivamente). Em relação às subpopulações dos reticulócitos, no grupo de pacientes encontramos um aumento na proporção de reticulócitos com valores médios de fluorescência (12.69 ± 6.69 por cento vs 5.88 ± 3.59 por cento, p<0.01) e na proporção de reticulócitos com alta fluorescência (1.45 [0.38-3.10] vs 0.40 [0.00-0.90], p<0.05) e diminuição na proporção de reticulócitos com baixa fluorescência (84.83 ± 9.65 por cento vs 93.57 ± 3.98 por cento, p<0.01). Foi encontrada correlação, positiva ou negativa, entre os parâmetros de maturação dos reticulócitos entre si, e destes com o RDW (red cell distribution width). Não foi encontrada correlação com os outros indicadores laboratoriais de deficiência de ferro. Em conclusão, a anemia por deficiência de ferro está associada com aumento da proporção de IFR, refletindo aumento da atividade eritropoética destes pacientes.


The aim of this work is to investigate reticulocyte subpopulations and immature reticulocyte fractions as indicators of bone marrow erythropoietic activity in patients with iron-deficiency anemia and their correlations with traditional hematological and biochemical markers of iron deficiency. A total of 96 individuals, aged 20 to 86 years old, were included in this study. These individuals were divided into two groups: healthy controls (n=30) and iron-deficiency anemia (n=66). Complete blood counts including reticulocytes and their subpopulations, iron, ferritin and transferrin and total binding capacity were determined in all individuals. Patients with iron-deficiency anemia had an increased proportion of immature reticulocyte fractions when compared with controls (15.02 ± 9.70 percent vs. 6.43 ± 3.98 percent, p<0.01, respectively). Comparing patients with healthy controls, the investigation of the subpopulations revealed higher medium-fluorescent reticulocyte (12.69 ± 6.69 percent vs. 5.88 ± 3.59 percent, respectively p<0.01) and high-fluorescent reticulocyte (1.45 [0.38-3.10] vs. 0.40 [0.00-0.90], p<0.05) regions and a smaller low-fluorescent reticulocyte region (84.83 ± 9.65 percent vs. 93.57 ±3.98 percent, p<0.01). Positive or negative correlations were found between reticulocyte subpopulations and red cell distribution width. No correlation was found with the other iron deficiency markers. In conclusion, iron deficiency anemia is associated with an increased proportion of immature reticulocyte fractions, reflecting an increase in erythropoietic activity in these patientss.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Detectar alterações nos índices plaquetários em indivíduos com doença hepática alcoólica crónica e trombocitopenia e determinar o seu grau de correlação com outros parâmetros hematológicos. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados um total de 65 indivíduos, divididos em dois grupos: controlos (n = 35) e com doença hepática alcoólica crónica e trombocitopenia (n = 30). O grupo controlo foi emparelhado por idade e sexo com o grupo de doentes. A todos eles, foi efectuado hemograma completo, incluindo índices plaquetários. RESULTADOS: Os doentes com doença hepática alcoólica crónica apresentaram contagem de eritrócitos, leucócitos e plaquetas significativamente inferiores aos encontrados na população controlo. O mesmo se verificou com os valores de hemoglobina, hematócrito e valores absolutos de linfócitos e neutrófilos. O volume globular médio, a hemoglobina globular média e o RDW ("red cell distribution width") revelaram-se significativamente superiores no grupo de doentes. Relativamente aos índices plaquetários, foi encontrado aumento estatisticamente significativo do PDW ("platelet distribution width") e uma diminuição estatisticamente significativa no plaquetrócrito no grupo de doentes quando comparado com o grupo controlo. Em relação ao volume plaquetário médio não se encontraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos. Foi encontrada correlação estatisticamente significativa entre a contagem de plaquetas e os outros parâmetros hematológicos analisados. O plaquetrócito revelou-se o índice plaquetário que mais se relaciona com os restantes parâmetros hematológicos. CONCLUSÃO: Os doentes com doença hepática alcoólica crónica apresentam diminuição nas três linhas hematopoiéticas, possivelmente associada com o hiperesplenismo que estes doentes apresentam. Adicionalmente às alterações numéricas, encontraram-se alterações morfológicas a nível dos eritrócitos e plaquetas, demonstráveis pelos índices eritrocitários e plaquetários.


AIM: To detect alterations in platelet indices in patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease and thrombocytopenia, and its correlation with other haematological parameters. METHODS: We studied 65 individuals separated in two groups: controls (n = 35) and chronic alcoholic liver disease patients with thrombocytopenia (n = 30). The control group was age and gender matched with patients group. In all, controls and patients, a haematological evaluation was done, including platelets indices. RESULTS: In the patients group we found a low number of erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelet when we compare with controls. The same is true when we compare haemoglobin, hematocrit and absolute count of lymphocyte and neutrophil. The mean globular volume, mean globular haemoglobin and red cell distribution width where significantly higher in patients group. Platelet indices showed a statistical significant increased in platelet distribution width and decreased in platelet crit in the patient group. No differences where found on mean platelet volume between the two groups. Correlation between platelet number and other haematological parameters was found. CONCLUSION: Chronic alcoholic liver disease patients showed a decrease in all haematopoietic cell lines, probably associated with hypersplenism found in those patients. Additionally to the numeric alterations the erythrocyte and platelets showed morphologic alteration revelled by respective indices.
