| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study was to investigate whether the relationships between Hematological, Immunological, Biochemical parameters and heavy cigarette smoking in patients with secondary polycythemia, to reach such aim, the study included 60 individuals. They were distributed on two main groups. Group one included 20 healthy non inhaling and non smoking males. Many results were significantly different between smoker patients and healthy non smokers. The levels of hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, total count of red blood cells, leukocytes, platelets and total cholesterol, triglyceride were significantly higher, also the percentage of positive cases for C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly increased and reached (100%), the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and immunoglobulin levels of IgG, IgA and complement component C3 ,C4 were significantly lower in smoker patients than in male non smokers. | ||
