DIFFERENCES OF HEMOGLOBIN LEVEL, HEMATOCRITE VALUE AND THE NUMBER OF ERYTHROCYTE IN ISCHEMIC AND HEMORRHAGIC STROKE AT M. HATTA BRAIN HOSPITAL

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Stroke is the main cause of physical disability in productive age and elderly. Blood viscosity/ viscosity in stroke patients can be seen based on the results of blood hematology examinations in the form of an increase in hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and the number of erythrocytes from normal values carried out in the laboratory.  Assessing blood viscosity / blood viscosity helps stroke management to reduce the spread of damage to brain cells in stroke survivors. This study aimed to compare levels of hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and the number of erythrocytes in ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The research design was cross sectional study. This research was conducted on 60 subjects (30 patients with ischemic stroke and 30 patients with hemorrhagic stroke) who are IGD patient in M. Hatta Brain Hospital from March to August 2020. Hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and erythrocyte count were examined using the Hematology Analyzer. Comparison of hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and the number of erythrocyte in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients using an independent T-test, p <0,05 was considered significant. The mean rates of hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and the number of erythrocytes were lower inischemic stroke (12,6±1,1/ gr/dl; 38±2,9/ %; 4,3±0,4/ million/mm³) than in  hemorrhagic stroke (15,2±0,1/ gr/dl; 45±2,7/ %; 5,1±0,4/ million/mm³). There were significant differences in hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and the number of erythrocytes in ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
