The Effect of Exposure to X-Rays on Some Blood Factors in Human Compared with Control
Keywords:
X-ray, blood factors, RBC, WBC, RamadiAbstract
Background: X-Ray usually associated with risks to the health, due to the effect of the radiation on living cells, tissues, organ, and the whole human body which end with disease.
Objective: The aim of the study is to study the changes that occur in a certain blood factors in people exposed to x-rays comparing with control group, and the effect of the exposure time on these blood factors.
Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from Ramadi Teaching Hospital (patients exposed to radiation), and from people working in the field of radiography, the blood samples were from 30 people exposed to x-rays to diagnose blood factors such as; Platelet, HB, ESR, RBC, Monocyte, Eosinophile, Basophile, Neutophile, lymphocyte, and WBS. The results were compared with control group (10 individuals). The people exposed to radiation were divided into 3 groups according to period of exposure. 10 mL of blood were collected by venipuncture and blood was transferred to a bottle containing EDTA, RBC, WBC, ESR, and other factors were measured according to protocol used by the hospital.
Results: The results shows that X-ray affect human blood cells, some blood factors was found with no significant difference between patient group with control group such as RBC, while there is a significant difference in WBS, platelets HB, and the greater the period of exposure to radiation, the greater the effect on the blood factors.
Conclusions: This study came with a lot of conclusions, among them are; no significant difference between patient group and control group in RBC, while in WBS, platelets HB there is difference, also there is a direct correlation between WBC from a side and ESR, Lymphocyte, and Monocytes.
