Study of Smoking Effect on Some Liver Functions, Blood Pressure and Some Haematological Parameters in Smokers in Al-Muthanna Province

Abstract

The aims of this study was to investigate the changes that occurred on some liver functions and some
haematologicl parameters and blood pressure of smokers. The current study is carried out in in Al- Muthanna
province.The study included 200 men, (100) smokers and (100) non smokers (control ).the smokers and non
smokers divided to two group according to age. the ages were between (25-46)years.The results for liver
function indicate a significant increase at(P<0.05)in Glutamate Oxaloacetae Transaminase(GOT),Glutamate
Pyruvate Transaminase(GPT) and Alkaline Phosphatase ( ALP) levels of smokers comparing with control
group in two age groups ,but non-significant differences at (P<0.05) in Serum Total Bilirubin (STB) of
smokers comparing with control group, While the results for haematological parameters showed a significant
increase at(P<0.05) in white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells(RBC), hemoglobin(Hb) and Mean Cell
Volume(MCV)of smokers comparing with non-smokers in two age groups, but non-significant differences
at(P<0.05) in PLT of smokers comparing with non-smokers in two age groups. the results for blood pressure
showed a significant increase at(P<0.05) in in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in all age groups of
smokers comparing with non-smokers.
