Keywords:
Gallstone, Lipid profile, Hematological parametersAbstract
The current study was aimed to find out the possible alterations of the serum lipid profile and some hematological parameters in 17 (11 female and 6 male) gall stone former patients with age range between (19-57) years. During this study, total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoproteins (HDL and LDL) and total leukocyte count, erythrocyte count, hemoglobin ratio and platelet count were included. All cases were newly diagnosed in surgery unit of Rizgary hospital in Erbil city. The results showed an elevation in the level of cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL and decreased cholesterol-HDL level in patients with cholelithiasis. Furthermore, the total erythrocyte number, total leukocyte number and platelet count were increased with a significant decrease of blood haemoglobin levels in the gallstone patients. In conclusion the changes in the levels of lipid profile and hematological parameters may be used as markers for gallstone formation.
