Study of hematological values in patients with alcoholic liver injury / 日本農村医学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

Hematological values were studied in cases of a thorough physical examination, chronic hepatitis and alcoholic liver injury. Cases of a thorough physical examination were a control group. Only thrombocyte count was decreased in cases of chronic hepatitis as compared with a control group. On the other hand a red blood cell count, MCV, MCH and neutrophils were changed significantly in cases of alcoholic liver injury. A red blood cell count was decreased, but MCV, MCH and neutrophils were increased. Correlation between MCV and each item of liver function tests was studied. No significantly correlated item was found in a control group and cases of chronic hepatitis, but GOT/GPT, LDH and CHE were significantly correlated in cases of alcoholic liver injury.
