Abstract :
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease characterized by airflow limitation resulting from airway inflammation, parenchymal destruction and the development of emphysema. About 15–30% of COPD patients have anemia and the occurrence of polycythaemia is only 6% . Anaemia is related to depressed exercise capacity along with functional dyspnea. This is a significant reason for depressed functional capacity and for low quality and standard of life. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is an objective measurement, viewed as the most accurate predictor of severity of airway obstruction. This study was conducted to detect the haematological manifestations in relation to FEVI in COPD Patients. Results from the study showed Patients with decreased FEV1, having prolonged duration of illness and increasing grades of dyspnea had high risk for anemia.
