Identification of Some Specific Hematological Indicators as Bladder Cancer Risk Factors

Abstract

Background: Our study’s objectives were measuring the levels of blood glucose BG, blood pressure BP, glomerular filtration rate GFR, body mass index BMI and creatinine in the blood of patients with bladder cancer in order to control the development of a relationship between those hematological parameters in the case of bladder cancer BC.

      Methods and Results: Blood samples were collected during the application of this work on 155 participants diagnosed with BC were admitted to medical –Baghdad city and Al-Kindey teaching hospital. All the participants were with the age ranged (25-70 years).There are many people who have been excluded because of their young age under 20 years old and those who have any type of common cancer, which was outlined as any malignant neoplasm, including those with hematological or lymphoid origin and other tissues associated with them. All the participants wearing light clothing and no shoes in order to measure their height and weight. BP was recorded using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer after an average of 2 readings taken with a 10 min interval. Creatinine and GFR and DM also were measured meanwhile.

 It was noticed through the results that there is a high percentage of patients who are of advanced ages about 67(43.2%) with age ≥65 years, and those with high weights BMI ≥ 30 were 64(41.3%). After conducting pathological analyzes of blood samples, it was found that patients were having high levels of sugar, especially those with long duration of diabetics type 2, as well as high blood pressure, creatinine levels, and low GFR levels, and it was clear that males outperformed females in the height of all measurements, which is the dominant characteristic in this research.
