| Abstract: | Abstract— Hypertension remains the most common and most important factor for development of cardiovascular diseases. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to numerous vascular complications .There are multiple factors leading to the development of hypertension out of which White Blood Cell(WBC) count and other mediators of inflammation are said to play a very important role in development of cardiovascular diseases Aim- In this study, we aim to evaluate the alterations in CBC indices in hypertensive patients by comparing them with a normotensive population. Method- A cross –sectional study was carried out among patients who were known cases of hypertension, attending the out-patient department during the month of January 2023. Total of 318 subjects were included in this study. 159 hypertensive patients and 159 normotensive subjects were selected for the study. Result- The RBC parameters of hypertensive(HT) patients showed significant difference compared to the normotensive(NT) population. Both WBC count and Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio(NLR) were found to be significantly higher in the hypertensive population. Platelet parameters of hypertensive patients did not show a significant difference as compared to the normotensive population. Conclusion- The present study shows the alteration in hematological parameters among hypertensives. RBC parameters have been found to be significantly reduced in hypertensives while plateletcrit,total WBC count and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio have been found to be increased in hypertensives. This is in concordance with other studies that shows elevated WBC count with neutrophilia and platelet parameters as an important prognostic indicator in hypertension, highlighting the need for close monitoring of various CBC parameters among hypertensives |
